Hmm. I tried this and it did work as expected. I made a folder and
inside there I created a bunch of folders named sa, sb, ss, sg etc.
Typing s took me to the first folder with an s in it. Typing s s took me
to the folder named ss and typing sb took me to that folder. So keyboard
navigation does take multiple characters.

see, here's the problem. unless you hae something beginning with s and
something beginning with ss, the second press goes nowhere.

Dear Tifanitsa,
I don't think there is a way of doing it. If you, say press a letter
S, you get your first folder beginning with this letter, and
thereafter you have to use your down arrow key to move through all the
folders beginning with S. I wondered about it myself but there doesn't
seem to be another way unless other more experienced users have an
idea. I suppose it's no different to pressing the letter S repeatedly
provided - and I assume this is the case - all the folders beginning
with S are listed underneath one another.
Best wishes
Simon

I've been wanting to address this for awhile but keep forgetting.
Anyway, I have alot of folders in my music folder that start with
similar letters. in Windows, when I hit s, for example, I can keep
cycling through the files or folders that begin with that letter. But
in the Mac, it gives me only one file/folder and no matter how many
times I hit the letter, it'll only give me that one. I have to
manually go over all the folders and remember their order so I can
find the one I want. Is there any way to change this? Does anyone
know why it happens?
Thanks,
Tiffanitsa
