Re: MRU plugin

Hi,

I have updated the MRU plugin and added the following features:

* Support for opening files always in tabs (MRU_Open_File_Use_Tabs option)

* Support for opening the MRU window always even for single filename matches (MRU_Window_Open_Always)

* Support for opening files in vertically split windows.

To open a file from the MRU list always in a tab, you can now set the MRU_Open_File_Use_Tabs

variable to 1 in your .vimrc file. To open the MRU window even for single matched filename, you can

set the MRU_Window_Open_Always variable to 1.

I am attaching the updated plugin to this e-mail. Let me know if you see any problems with it.

I will shortly upload this to the Vim online site.

Look up the email address of the script author, Yegappan, by following the vim.org link to his user profile. Send any updates via email, unless there are other instructions on the script page.

Note, I'm pretty sure the "if there's only one match, open it" behavior is intentional; however it would be nice to have a way to open in a new tab or window even if there's only one match. Maybe adding an :MRU! command (with the bang) could force the window to open even if there's only one match.
