Emacs minor mode that displays recently modified files at the beginning of Ido's file list.
To activate after installing, add to ~/.emacs.d/init.el:
(ido-sort-mtime-mode 1)
To display TRAMP files before local ones, use:
(setq ido-sort-mtime-tramp-files-at-end nil)
(Checking modification time for TRAMP files is not supported.)
To display . at the beginning of the list, use:
(setq ido-sort-mtime-dot-at-beginning t)
If sorting by modification time is too slow in large directories, you can limit the number of files for which it will be used:
(setq ido-sort-mtime-limit 2000)
