tmru : Most Recently Used Files

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.

:TRecentlyUsedFiles ... open one or more recently used file(s)
:TRecentlyUsedFilesEdit ... edit the mru list

If viminfo contains "!", the data is stored as global variable. Otherwise,
tlib#cache is used -- which saves the data in ${vimfiles}/cache/tmru/files
by default.
 
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.

vimscript #1863 is required.

Copy tmru.vim to ~/.vim/plugin/

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.
