Feature request: Manipulate MRU

[comiluv]

• Description I want a command that can remove certain elements in MRU list or completely reset MRU list
• Why? I might be wrong but sometimes after editing files stored in HDD or external HDD, when these storage devices go to sleep and I run Neovim again it takes a long time to start up Neovim just because some files in MRU list are stored in devices that are asleep
• How? 1) Moving cursor on the number inside brackets and pressing a hotkey such as "x" to remove the selected entry from the list 2) Commands such as :Alpha rm **number** to remove the numbered entry 3) Commands such as :Alpha reset to completely reset MRU list

Neovim just because some files in MRU list are stored in devices that are asleep

i think you are misunderstanding how the list works/is populated. the list is fetched from the oldfiles in the shada file https://neovim.io/doc/user/starting.html#shada-file, which neovim usually reads weather or not this plugin is even installed. i believe that oldfiles acts like a cache, when you read a file in neovim it's inserted into this list. neovim shouldn't need to read any files in this list on startup

Moving cursor on the number inside brackets and pressing a hotkey such as "x" to remove the selected entry from the list Commands such as :Alpha rm number to remove the numbered entry Commands such as :Alpha reset to completely reset MRU list

this is a really bizarre request and I don't think I want to accommodate it. fwiw you can define this yourself very easily simply by defining a command which mutates this table and calls AlphaRedraw
