Re: recentf.el - digit shortcuts

[David PONCE]

Hi,

Here is another patch (sorry) that isolates files with shortcuts in
front of the dialog list, instead of mixing them up into sub-menus.
This way it is very easy to locate files with shortcuts when
`recentf-show-file-shortcuts-flag' is non-nil.

2005-09-05  David Ponce  <address@hidden>

        * recentf.el (recentf-show-file-shortcuts-flag): New option.
        (recentf-expand-file-name): Doc fix.
        (recentf-dialog-mode-map): Define digit shortcuts.
        (recentf--files-with-key): New variable.
        (recentf-show-digit-shortcut-filter): New function.
        (recentf-open-files-items): New function.
        (recentf-open-files): Use it.
        (recentf-open-file-with-key): New command.
