Prevent Kicad losing recently used symbol,

This Kicad keep losing recently used symbol, so how to have kicad always keep recently used symbol especially at next launching after exit

What type of symbol: from a Kicd library, an imported symbol, a personally made or modified symbol?

What Kicad are you using?
What is your OS?

I think the OP talks about the -- Recently Used -- section in the Choose Symbol Dialog of the Schematic Editor.

As far as I know there is currently no way of remembering the previous used symbols for kKcad after closing the Editor.

Create a library for the project and save it there ?

I don’t use the – Recently Used – part of adding schematic symbols at all myself. I find the search function for schematic symbols quite good, it can find things based on multiple (partial) keywords.

Another function I use often is to just hover over a symbol already on the schematic and press [Ctrl + d] to duplicate it.

See Quick access for adding commonly used symbols or components to schematic (#6028) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab.

I also miss that function. See:

[RFC] eeschema: add ‘Already placed’ category when choosing symbol (!729) · Merge requests · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab

I had reacted with thumb up but didn’t remember that at all.
