I noticed that the mate CL tool has a -r --recent option to add the file to the Open Recent menu but this doesn't seem to work for me. Am I doing something wrong?
No, that seems to be broken. I've fixed it.
Also I would say that this should be the default but it isn't a big deal since I can just alias mate as mate -r.
Personally, the majority of my “mate” use (in addition to $EDITOR) is for things entirely restricted to Terminal (which has its own history) and involves opening dozens of files each day (many of them being temporary). So that's why it's not enabled by default (i.e. it'd destroy the usefulness of the Recent menu).
Though I have no idea how many keep the two file system views (Finder versus Terminal) as task specific as I do.
