Quickly find text, an icon, or other item in a group or list by highlighting one of the icons or clicking on the list items and pressing the beginning letter of the item you're looking for. Below are some examples of how this could be used.

Internet drop down list

Instead of scrolling through a list of options in an Internet drop down list press the first letter of the option you're looking for. For example, if you wanted to get down on the below list of countries to United States you could click the down arrow and then press U to quickly move down to the first item beginning with U, which in this case is Uganda. If you continued to type United... it would continue to scroll down as long as a result was found.
