Prioritize last picked things #3178

Would it be possible to bubble up things that I picked last? For example, when I Wox "virtual", I get the following.

I always pick "VirtualBox", and it works great.

My request is that once I pick something from the sorted list, it should put that thing at the top next time.

+1 This is something that I really miss when I compare Wox with Launchy.

I don't know implementation details but I saw that they store history in .ini file example

dit=ditto, D:/Portable/Ditto/Ditto.exe
pro=procexp, C:/ProgramData/chocolatey/lib/sysinternals/tools/procexp.exe
bac=syncbackfree, D:/Portable/SyncBackFree/SyncBackFree.exe
gold=goldwave, D:/Portable/GoldWave/GoldWave.exe
hi=system hibernate, C:/Program Files (x86)/Launchy/Utilities/System Power/System Hibernate.lnk

This does the job really well.

+1000 on this! Ideally would be great to have several options for top N "most frequently picked thing per search string", at least as an option.

But even top-1 would be great.

I understand having plain text history of things you launched might be a privacy concern, I'm sure some people would like to opt out, but for most people this would improve the UX by a lot!
