This minor mode when enabled, will track recently closed files in emacs and enable you to restore them.

Inspired by the Ctrl-Shift-T feature available in all modern browsers today.

C-S-y is an alternative key binding which can be used to show the list of recently closed files and assist in choosing one of those.

You can install this package from Marmalade

M-x package-install track-closed-files

And then add the following lines to your config

(require 'track-closed-files)
(track-closed-files-mode)

$ cd ~/.emacs.d/vendor
$ git clone git://github.com/jaskirat/track-closed-files-mode.git

In your emacs config:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/vendor/track-closed-files.el")
(require 'track-closed-files)
(track-closed-files-mode)
