As you yourself probably do, I have lots of libraries so a lot of examples.
This can involve a lot of scrolling.
Usually when I want test examples I start at the bottom of the list "Z" and work my way up so that I have less scrolling to do on each occasion.
A nice feature to have would for example be a search for "gps" and all the GPS related examples would be listed.
That search in an ideal world would be saved just until the session was finished or maybe even into a seperate session ?
In that way I would no longer have to scroll every time through examples but be able to call up the recent search and work my way through that particular but much shorter list.
Your idea of putting it in recent is quite possibly an alternative work around but without hands on I am not 100% sure if it would work.
I may try do a video later as I think that might explain a little better.
