Now and then I start editing a file and want to go back to a file I edited in a previous edit session. But the name doesn't appear in the marks or buffer list. Still, I know the file name is in the viminfo file. There are plugins for this, but I thought it would be nice if Vim could retrieve file names natively.
The idea is simple: when reading the viminfo file on startup, store the file names from the list of buffer marks in v:oldfiles. This already makes it possible to use them. For convenience I added the ":oldfiles" command to list them (nicer than ":echo v:oldfiles"). And the #<N item to be able to use the file name in most places on the command line. Please try the patch and tell me what you think. - ERROR 047: Keyboard not found.
