Feature request: keyboard shortcut to "recent files", and keyboard selection of a recent file

Description

whisker menu allows to open an application super fast:

  • assign a keyboard shortcut to xfce4-popup-whiskermenu
  • type a few letters of the application

I propose this is extended to allow for quickly opening recent files:

  • assign a keyboard shortcut to xfce4-popup-recentfiles, that opens the places plugin, and selects the last item: recent files
  • typing a few letters should allow to select one file, just like we can select a file in thunar. It need not be fuzzy search like in whisker menu (although that would be even cooler)
