Most people know that you can use letter keys to navigate a folder (hit B to go to the first item that starts witha B etc). But what I didn't realize is that you can navigate between items that start with the same letter by pressing the second letter of the item you want, immediately after you've hit the first one (within a half-second or so) Pretty cool!

[robg adds: The 'second letter' trick also works when navigating the menus via the keyboard, as explained in this hint.]
