Little explanation

once installed you'll have the commands Mru and Mrw, the lists will populate as you visit/save files with vim.

With very little extra trouble you'll have this functionality available from you shell too. this is the code I have in my zshrc

#!/bin/zsh
function mru(){
   mrufile=${1:-.mru}
   if [[ ! -f $HOME/$mrufile ]]; then
       echo $HOME/$mrufile does not exist
       return
   fi
   #print file inverse order(tail) | put line numbers (nl) | fzf with sorting | remove line number from selected file (sed)
   fzfresult=$(tail -r $HOME/$mrufile | nl | fzf --no-sort --exact \
       --preview 'echo {} | sed -E '\''s#^[^/]*##'\'' | xargs $DOTFILES/bin/preview.rb -v' \
       --preview-window 'top:50%' \
       --bind 'ctrl-s:toggle-sort,ctrl-g:toggle-preview' | sed -E 's#[^/]*(/.*$)#''\1''#')
   filename=$(sed -E 's#(^[^:]*).*#\1#' <<< $fzfresult)
   if [[ -f $filename ]]; then
       if [[ $fzfresult =~ ':[[:digit:]]+$' ]]; then
           linenum=$(sed 's#^[^:]*:#+#' <<< $fzfresult)
       fi
       #open selected file in vim AND cd into git's root folder for project of selected file
       vim $linenum $filename -c 'silent :Rooter'
   fi
}
function mrw(){
   mru '.mrw'
}
function mrv(){
   mru '.mru'
}
