TLDR: How can I open a file from the list of recent files without going to the end of the list to get to the prompt for file number?
In order to open recent files, I do :bro ol
and then when I see the file that I want to open, I have to press Space to get to the bottom of the list and to see the prompt for entering the file number. I was wondering if there is a faster way; possibly being able to get the prompt for file number on the first page of recent files, rather than pressing space until I get to the end of the page.
bonus question:
What does :ol
do? Does it just list the recent files and a file cannot be opened from the list?
:ol
list old files, see:help :oldfiles
