Allan, I was thinking of letting `mate` set the virtual path (i.e.,
real-path, which seems like misnomer) is this case.
I can submit a PR shortly unless you prefer another solution.

Please do, I have not looked into the issue (and was not aware of it).

But I am not sure I follow regarding virtualPath, this should only be set by rmate and is the path on the server (from where the misnomer comes, as from the server’s POV it is the “real path”), so using that in the Open Recent menu would not work (documents with a virtualPath should not do any recent tracking).
