Is it possible to MRU sort fuzzy finder

#1

In a recent update I seem to have lost the MRU sort of the fuzzy finder. I there a way to turn this back on? I rely on this heavily to move between files :frowning:

I don’t think there’s any way to turn that off, unless you’ve installed some plugin that replaces the goto-anything dialog entirely.

You could, using a quick panel. However the list of files that exists in a project is not a thing that is exposed in the API, so in order to do so you would need to replicate all of the logic in Sublime that scans project folders for files, ignores binary files, skips files and folders that are not supposed to be listed, and somehow keep that up to date as files are changing outside of Sublime.

So in general, probably not worth it based on the effort involved.

AFAIK no related plugin installed. I see some of the recent files near the top of the list, but it definitely changed at some point. Historically the list was sorted in a way that I was at least for me intuitive, but now often times the file I was just in isn’t near the top or were it would have been before :man_shrugging:.

I assume you’re talking about goto-anything? It’s always had the currently open files at the top of the list in MRU order, followed by all other files ordered by their path.

Yup, here is my key binding: { “keys”: [“ctrl+shift+space”], “command”: “show_overlay”, “args”: {“overlay”: “goto”, “show_files”: true} }. I’ll pay more attention to the behavior so I can be more specific about what I think is different.
