Navigating folders with letter keys
you can actually type more than 2 letters... All first letters will be taken into account if typed fast enough. Then the buffer takes into account if there is a pause and starts again.

Actually, the same thing is true in Windows as well.
Windows letter keys: folders only
Actually, the same thing is true in Windows as well.For navigating folders, yes, but it is not consistent throughout Windows. Try tabbing to a popup menu in Internet Explorer and typing in the first few letters of what you want to set it to. If you want Connecticut and type CO, you end up setting it to Ohio...

Actually not, and is one of my biggest gripes about Windows usability. If I'm in a list of files and want to navigate to one called "Parisian Night", I can start typing p-a-r-i etc at even a relatively slower speed. With "p" it jumps to the first alphabetical "P" file, with "p-a" it jumps to the first alphabetical "A" file, and so on.

It didn't do it on System 6. On System 6, typing would rename the selected file immediately. It was too easy to accidentally rename files, so in System 7, it was changed so that you had to click the name and wait a second, or select the file and press return. This was also the point where they introduced selecting files by typing their names.

The time between keypresses is dictated by the Delay Until Repeat setting. I set that and the Key Repeat Rate to their max, so I have to type fairly fast to get the file name I'm after - can't just sit there and peck out a bunch of letters. |
