If enough people ask for it perhaps they will re-instate it. I find a max recents of 30 to be incredibly powerful in my work. Not every gedit user is a programmer or sysadmin.

Later, that option was removed (I don't know why), but we could still set it as follows (in this case, I've set it to 30, because I need a lot in my history): gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.ui max-recents 30 Unfortunately, even that has been taken away now, so there is no way to increase (or decrease, which some people say they need for confidentiality) the number of recent files listed. Please could this option be reinstated, because the current limit is too restrictive.
