Tools>List Mgt.>History vs. Go>History

Why do the Context Menu items for History and Recent Locations ("History..." and "Recent Locations...") of the Recent Locations button on the Toolbar open up a simple Go window instead of the more functional Tools>List Management window? They should open up the Tools>List Management version of the History and Recent Locations windows so that I can edit the lists as well navigate to the locations.
Bug or Working As Designed?
Cheers,
Jeff

"Working as Designed"
Tools --> List Management is a centralized hub for managing all the "listable" stuff in XY.
And you can't actually navigate anywhere with List Management --> History.

Good points!
Do you know if History and Recent Locations are accessible through XY's Script Commands?
Thanks,

Hold CTRL key and open Help --> List All Commands...
In the opened listbox, search for History/Recent Locations.
Note down the
#+numbers part at the beginning of the list item(s). This is the command ID of that menu.
When you want to call one of those commands/menu items in a script, you use that #+numbers as a scripting command:
#123; etc
For example, the listing for Go -- > History is:
So here's a script that opens that menu:
That's it.
As you can see in "List All Commands...", almost all menu/submenu items in XYplorer have a corresponding command ID.
