There is a hack that Windows users can use. It is called Everything Search. Install it and set your drives to be auto indexed and auto identify changes. Any file saved or modified can be found systemwide this way.
Fsearch exists on Linux if you want this for Linux too.
This method works for people who hate Recent Files bad for their privacy.
With the everything toolbar addon to add a search bar in your toolbar if you want seemless experience.
I just have the Everything Search on the Windows key + 0-9 hotdial, since you can launch one of the first 10 programs on the taskbar that way.
