Ulauncher: Feature request: Ulauncher history - configurable number of items

[uffejakobsen]

It would be nice if Ulauncher had a configurable number of history items that is displayed

Currently only the last 3 items are displayed (reachable with ALT+number)
A configurable lenght would be really nice to have
Ofcourse only the first 9 ot 10 items would be reachable through ALT+number - but that would be acceptable I think :-)

Technical details

1. Change "Show Frequent Apps" setting from checkbox to an input. Use 0 as default value
2. For backward compatibility, if show-recent-apps setting is set to True, use 3 as a value
3. Update UlauncherWindow.py so it uses the number (look around line 332)

I think we can do that.
I hope a kind contributor will come across this ticket and submit a PR :)

I can do that, just give me a day or two.

I second this request. Has it been done by any chance? I don't seem to see it in the current release, v5.7.5

Thank You!

Could this be implemented like Alfred, where you can just push the up arrow (like shell too) to go through the history? I'm willing to have a go, having never written Python, if I can find where to start!
