Access frecent files easily
zel tracks the most used files, based on 'frecency'. Zel is
basically a port of z[1] in Emacs Lisp.
The list of 'frecent' files underlies two concepts:
1. The files are not only ranked on how recent they have been
visited, but also how frequent they have been visited. A file that
has been visited multiple times last week gets a higher score as
file visited once yesterday. Outliers should not compromise the
'frecent' list.
2. Entries in the 'frecent' list undergo aging. If the age of a
entry falls under a threshold it gets removed from the 'frecent'
list.

Installation
MELPA
If you installed from MELPA, you're done.
use-package
(use-package zel
:ensure t
:demand t
:bind (("C-x C-r" . zel-find-file-frecent))
:config (zel-install))
Manual
Install these required packages:
- frecency
Then put this file in your load-path, and put this in your init
file:
(require 'zel)
Usage
1. Run (zel-install)
2. Bind `zel-find-file-frecent' to a key,
e.g. (global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-r") #'zel-find-file-frecent)
3. Visit some files to build up the database
4. Profit.
As default the 'frecent' history is saved to `zel-history-file'.
Run 'M-x customize-group RET zel' for more customization options.
Besides `zel-find-file-frecent', that lets you select a file with
`completing-read' and switches to it, there is also the command
`zel-diplay-rankings' that shows all entries of the 'frecent' list
along with their score.
If you'd like to stop building up the 'frecent' list then run
`zel-uninstall' to deregister `zel' from all hooks.
