A suggestion about configurability of the "File --> Open Recent" list's length.

Hello! Please CC me on any replies as I'm not signed up to the list. While KWrite is a feature-rich program with very good configurability overall, I was surprised not to be able to find any way to modify the length of the Open Recent list in the File menu (either through the GUI or through a setting in the kwriterc file), or to disable it. (Yes, I know about Open Recent --> Clear List, but that requires endless repetition to keep the list empty, and also doesn't allow the list to be expanded.) Since KWrite is neither currently providing this option nor looking at the related user preference in KDE's System Settings (Workspace --> Activities --> Privacy --> Remember opened documents), how about adding an option under Configure --> Open/Save --> General (or Advanced) where the number of recent files can be specified (with "0" being a valid entry)? This number could be stored as a single new variable in the [Recent Files] section of the kwriterc file. Such functionality would be useful both to people who prefer not to have document histories stored, and to those who would like the history list to be more extensive. Thanks for your help.
