So folks know, I've pinged Steve Wolf to get his take on this issue.
Once I hear back from him, I'll update this thread.

Hi Drew,
If you are considering accepting multiple letters, another idea might
be to have that second letter differentiate between a long list of
entries with the same first letter. So in the example below, 'a' would
get Africa, then 'u' would get Australia. Might save on having to type
lots of 'a's.
I'm ok with either approach, but wanted to put this other idea out
there to see what folks thought. Comments/druthers from anyone?

I spoke with William this morning, and he recommended that I add the
ability to do "same letter"
jumping. If the list has:
Africa
Americas
Antarctica
Arctic Ocean
Asia
Atlantic Ocean
Australia
Pressing 'a' once will take you to 'Africa'. Pressing 'a' again to
'Americas' and so on. If the
highlighted entry is the last entry in that letter (e.g.
'Australia'), it will jump back to the
first entry in the list ('Africa').

This webrev also takes in what I changed for Keith's review as well.

Good afternoon!
I'd like to get some discussion (and a possible code review) for the
following CR:
7161344 <http://monaco.us.oracle.com/detail.jsf?cr=7161344>
ScrollWindows should support letter
jumping
https://cr.opensolaris.org/action/browse/caiman/drewfish/CR_7161344/webrev/
This fix adds the ability for ScrollWindows to *optionally* allow
the author to enable "first
letter" jumping. I made this optional because users may not want
letter jumping for short scroll
windows. Before going any further, I wanted to see if folks had
issues or concerns with this approach.
If you'd like to try this out do the following:
export
PYTHONPATH=/net/mox.us.oracle.com/tank/code/cr_7161344/proto/root_i386-nd/usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages
sudo sysconfig create-profile
(don't worry, you're not going to reconfigure your system)
Proceed through the screens until you get to the timezone screen and
try the letter jumping.
Once done, simply hit F9 to exit (when you do this, you'll hit
another bug with ScrollWindows -
it's 7160551 but don't worry about it)
Let me know if you have questions! I'd like to get this in the gate
so Seth stops sending me angry
email. :)
