MoveTo and CloneTo should suggest recent destinations, not sources!

Preflight Checklist

[X] I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Describe feature

I use the Web Clipper a lot, and things end up in the Journal. I peek at them later, and decide where to file them. Click the note name, right click, MoveTo... Or CloneTo...

And it puts up a list of the source locations of all the things I've already moved today - where they no longer exist!

When I then search for a target note, I often have to scroll down a couple pages in the search results, because all the notes I've moved to that target recently show up above the shared target note name.

I guess the list is just chronological of what I've opened recently... Could it please remember my actual destination choices instead? It would make my filing workflow so much nicer!

Autocomplete component is common for all use cases and by default displays "recent notes" which is what you're describing.

I don't plan to implement per-usecase sorting in autocomplete, especially in this case where it would be necessary to remember the targets.

Aha! Now that my tree spacing is tight enough to show significant parts of it, I can just drag the new notes directly to their destinations! Seems I tried that once ages ago and it didn't work, but now it is perfect! Is there any benefit to using the MoveTo menu item?

it's useful for more keyboard driven workflow. Especially when you have many thousands of notes drag & drop might not work well (from usability perspective).
