Feature Request: 'Favourite files' on file menu

#1

(My first post so please excuse any wrong doings)

Today we have ‘Open Recent’ on the file menu, which is very handy.
But sometimes the file(s) I often use (my ‘favourite files’) are not there - as I’ve opened plenty of other files since last viewing my favourite file.

I propose a new File menu item of ‘Favourite files’ would be very helpful.

  • Right clicking on the file tab when the file is open when allow user to indicate this is a favourite file.
  • Favourite files to be listed in Alphabetical order - not recently opened order (so easier to find, irrespective of the time when last opened).
  • I see no reason to have a limit on the number of favourite files displayed - but this could be limited to say 10 if there was a programmatic reason to do so.

PS Whether it is ‘favourite’ or ‘favorite’ would be up to programmers:-)

this functionality can be easily provided by a plugin
https://packagecontrol.io/search/favorite
(i personally just hard coded a sublime-menu file to suit my needs)

Thank you. Apologies for not looking in package control first.
FavoriteFiles just wins out over Sublime-Favorites for me.
