The full path needs to be shown, and if you just tab to the address window and start typing, then you are starting a brand new path. However, when you first tab to the address window, you are shown the path you are currently in. So, you can either use a cursor routing button to go to the end of that path and type your file name, or if I don't have my SyncBraille attached to the VS, then space with dot 6 assures I'm at the end of the path where I can just type the file name.

Great, so you can not only type the single file or folder, but a
path! That is cool! If you are in flash disk/media, can you just
type a file to open it, or do you still have to type flash
disk/media first?

Have a great day,
Alex

I have the Voice Sense, but am sure this can be done in the BSP
as well.  I mean, in addition to the first letter navigation,
while in a file or folder list, one can tab once to the address
window and type in a path name for a file or a folder and it will
open.

Hi all,
I just thought of something: can you manually type in a folder or
file you want, if you know its name, in the File Manager, or do
you always have to browse the list? I often find it quicker to
just type a name, so I often use three-letter names, like "cos"
for computer science or "spa" for Spanish.  In this way I can
just typethe three letters, hit enter, and be there without
having to listen to the folders I am browsing past as I move to
the one I want.  Just curious if this is possible but too
advanced a feature to be covered by the online demos.  Thanks.

Have a great day,
Alex
