While I'm sure everyone would be happy to reimplement this keybind
based on my vague description, here is the relevant setup:
zstyle ':completion:most-recent-file:*' match-original both
zstyle ':completion:most-recent-file:*' file-sort modification
zstyle ':completion:most-recent-file:*' file-patterns '*:all\ files'
zstyle ':completion:most-recent-file:*' hidden all
zstyle ':completion:most-recent-file:*' completer _files
zle -C most-recent-file menu-complete _generic
bindkey "^N" most-recent-file
I would like ^N after TAB to start completion over (even if this was
originally a ^N completion), but TAB after ^N to continue the same
completion. This is how it worked before the commit. I'm fine with
replacing _generic with something else either custom in my rc or if we
distribute a new helper function.
