Subject: [PATCH] Scripts: Recent Script Files lists the last ten scripts and
 Cmd+Alt+Shift+D reruns the newest
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

File ▸ Scripts gets a Recent Script Files submenu with the ten scripts run
last, newest first: script files run with Run Script File… or a command, and
the installed and bundled scripts of File ▸ Scripts. ScriptUI panels are not
listed. The list is kept in the settings. Each entry runs its script again
through `file.runScript {"recent": i}`, and Cmd+Alt+Shift+D runs the most
recent one; the key can be changed in Edit ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts. An entry
records whether it ran a file or an installed script, so a file named like a
bundled script runs again as that file.
