Can you reference the file that was modified latest by me? With one shortcut?

Because that's what I miss most in my shell.

You mean something like

    print -rl -- *(om[1].)

in zsh?

No, I mean globally (over all directories, starting from my home directory).

And of course, if the latest file isn't what I wanted, then it should be possible to easily go to the latest file before that.

		Then you need emacs’s dired. There’s a find command that will do that. ;)

		It's 10x slower than a more specialized command [1] for me, but adding recursion only requires adding one extra asterisk (`*` instead of ``) and maybe a D if you want to include dot files or triple star if you want to follow symlinks: `$ date; print -rl -- *(om[1].D);date; newest -n4 -r0 $HOME Wed Sep 17 12:48:53 EDT 2025 .config/mozilla/firefox/p9/bounce-tracking-protection.sqlite Wed Sep 17 12:49:25 EDT 2025 /u/p9/.config/mozilla/firefox/p9/permissions.sqlite /u/p9/.config/zsh/history /u/p9/.config/mozilla/firefox/p9/places.sqlite-wal /u/p9/.config/mozilla/firefox/p9/bounce-tracking-protection.sqlite newest -n4 -r0 $HOME Time: 1.882365 (u) + 1.318166 (s)=3.215131 (99%) mxRSS 139 MiB` Not sure how to change to get most recent 4 or whatever in the Zsh style (since, you know, that'd be 10x slower..)

Reverse shell command search for eg *.txt allows you to look through the most recent text files you've explicitly referenced
