Is it possible to make pluma have a longer list of recent docs?

Using Ubuntu Mate 16.04, caja shows five recently used documents in the “File” menu. I would like more. There doesn’t seem to be anything relevant in the “Edit->Preferences” dialogue.

Is there some more comprehensive collection of settings in a configuration file somewhere? Or something like Firefox’s about:config?

Hi @desconocido Did you mean Pluma? If so, here’s the terminal way to read the current value:

gsettings get org.mate.pluma max-recents

To set it to a value of 10 goes like this:

gsettings set org.mate.pluma max-recents 10

MATE has a dconf-editor package, not installed by default, that can examine this database of settings (similar to Windows registry) but last I looked at the most recent version I’ll stick to commandline. The 16.04 version isn’t bad - what are you running?

HTH

Oops. My bad. Yes, I meant pluma.

Your gsettings code does exactly what I want.

Thanks.

Great! And don’t worry, I called them their old Gnome2 names for years. :slight_smile:
