Description

It is not super important, but it would be nice if the recent files list also included this:

I opened a file, used "save as" to save it under a new name, made some changes, saved and closed.

Next time I opened MacVim, the latest files list only contained the original name, not the name I gave it with "save as".

Thank you for maintaining MacVim, it is a great tool for me!

Best regards, Hans Jørgen.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported sequence in MacVim: open a file, use Save As, edit and save under the new name, close, then reopen MacVim and inspect the recent files list. Done means the newly saved name appears in the list alongside or instead of the original name.
