Currently these options focus the "newest" item or file, which is useful, but sometime incorrect item or file is focused, or user needs another file, 2nd newest, etc.

My suggestion: change this option to toggle newest item / file.

First click would focus newest item / file, same as now, bug 2nd click would focus 2nd newest item / file, 3 click would focuse 3rd newest item / file, etc.

Not sure if it should be limited to 3 or 10 items, and then focus 1st one again, or if it should just focus all items / files one by one.

The number of items / files could be set in the ini file, using the ini option.

Icon and name could be preserved, just description could be updated.

3 by default; and "0" would mean for all

Thus it would not hurt to see this in Settings

I think 1 should be default and perhaps it could be added only as ini option, toggle X newest items/files:

0 = no limit
1 = 1
2 = 2
3 = 3
4 = 4
5 = 5

I think, more options are not needed, perhaps even 3 would be enough.

Just it should be reset after changing panel, tab, folder, so the first click in a new location would be always 1st newest item / file.

Finding the newest item / file is easy with this option, but if it doesn't work, or other item is newer for any reason, it's quite complicated, need to changing view, sorting, scrolling - and after finding it, need to changed it all back, so it's even 5 or more steps. Using this existing / improved option it would be few clicks the same button, or same shortcut.
