Can you define a bit more what you mean with "A list of recently visited files appears.", you mean the submenu of the file menu is opened of a dialog with the recent file or what?

I am not sure what the action "Open Recent" is supposed to do.  Since it carries the same name as a submenu of the "File" menu, I would think that it should do more or less "the same thing".

Personally, what I would like is the following: Show a list of recently opened files.  In this list it should be possible to select one file and open it.

Probably the easiest implementation would be to just open the submenu, hovering somewhere over the main window.

Make the openRecent just be open recent

Stop being too smart for own our good, try to merge open and openRecent actions in just one action
confuses the hell out of people, so let's KISS and just make open recent be open recent
