Describe the request

It would be great if there was a way to populate the drop-down with frequently-used boards. I could see this being populated manually (either as part of preferences or as a "favourite" button in the board selection window), automatically (e.g. the last five boards used appear in the drop-down), or some combination of the two.

Describe the current behavior

When editing sketches "offline" (or, as I understand it, when using a bootloader-less chip and a programmer) the only thing that appears in the board selection drop-down is "Select Other Board & Port". Even if I only ever used a couple of boards, I always have to go in and search for them (which makes arduino/arduino-pro-ide#369 a lot more annoying).
