spacemacs - How do I open from the recent file list?

Question

I see the recent files listed when I boot up emacsclient -nc. How do I open them in the current window?

Answer 1

To go to the recent files list, you can press r in the *spacemacs* buffer. Then you can use j or k (if you've got vim-style editing) to navigate up and down the list. Press <RET> to open a file.
