Quick recent file picker in Neovim/Telescope

nvim-recent.lua

return {
  {
    "mollerhoj/telescope-recent-files.nvim",
    config = function() require("telescope").load_extension("recent-files") end,
    keys = {
      {
        "<Tab>",
        function()
          require("telescope").extensions["recent-files"].recent_files({
            attach_mappings = function(_, map)
              -- Tab/S-Tab should navigate instead of select
              map("i", "<Tab>", "move_selection_next")
              map("i", "<S-Tab>", "move_selection_previous")

              return true
            end,
          })
        end,
      },
    },
  },
};

Alternatively, with AstroNvim (mapping through astrocore):

return {
  {
    "mollerhoj/telescope-recent-files.nvim",
    config = function() require("telescope").load_extension("recent-files") end,
    dependencies = {
      "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
      {
        "AstroNvim/astrocore",
        opts = {
          mappings = {
            n = {
              ["<Tab>"] = function()
                require("telescope").extensions["recent-files"].recent_files({
                  attach_mappings = function(_, map)
                    -- Tab/S-Tab should navigate instead of select
                    map("i", "<Tab>", "move_selection_next")
                    map("i", "<S-Tab>", "move_selection_previous")

                    return true
                  end,
                })
              end,
            },
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
}
