How could I get file history recent to show at the top of File Editor?

I would like to make a small change in configuration.yaml and then go to the file which I’m working in somewhere else with less clicking around to navigate to it in the pictured file manager window (middle). There is too much whitespace between filenames as default (pictured) file manager so I’d like to have from a fifth icon near to the red arrow a dropdown list of “recent files”. That is a usual thing to have in a programmers’ file editor.

Please could we put in a “feature request” for swifter navigation to “recent files” in File Editor file browser ?
