description
This plugin allows users to open recently used files. Users can filter
the file list by typing a pattern. Users can open multiple files at
once. The list of recently used files is synchronized across multiple
instances of (g)vim running simultaneously.

By default, tmru will remember 500 files (accessible via the
:TRecentlyUsedFiles command). The list can be easily filtered (users
can optionally use fuzzy patterns, which is not enabled by default though).

Files can be groups in sessions:

     - Use named sessions to group files that are frequently edited together
     - Use numbered sessions to open files you edited during one of the latest editing sessions

Files can be marked as "sticky" -- they will never be removed from the list.

Commands:

:TRecentlyUsedFiles ... open one or more recently used file(s)
:TRecentlyUsedFilesEdit ... edit the mru list
 
install details
Edit the vba file and type: >

    :so %

See :help vimball for details. If you have difficulties or use vim 7.0,
please make sure, you have the current version of vimball
(vimscript #1502) installed or update your runtime.

tlib (vimscript #1863) is required.

Suggested keymaps (put something like this into ~/.vimrc):

    noremap <m-r> :TRecentlyUsedFiles<cr>

In order to disable the sub-menu, set g:tmruMenu to "" in your vimrc file.
