IntelliJ 2021.1 - How to increase the number of "recent" run configurations?

In previous versions of IntelliJ IDEA, I'd always go into the "run configuration template settings" area and increase the number of run configurations from 5 to 15.

How do I do that with IDEA 2021.1?

As of 2021.3.2, IntelliJ has re-introduced a UI mechanism for configuring the number of "temporary configurations".

File | Settings | Advanced Settings | Temporary Run/Debug configurations limit: enter image description here

EDIT: this answer no longer works as of 2021.3.2 (may have happened on previous versions, this is when I noticed it).

The registry entry will still be there if you edited it previously, but will no longer work to extend the list of run configurations.

I can't see how to do it using the UI, but it can be done via the Idea "Registry".

Open the Maintenance dialog be pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+/ and select the "Registry".

Set the value for run.anything.context.recent.directory.number to whatever you want.

Edit: also consider changing temporary.configurations.limit.
