Jumping to files/folders by pressing the first letters/numbers name

I would like to have a feature added to JM.
In Windows Explorer when you want to go to a file or folder, pressing the first letters or numbers of the name brings you that file or folder.
This is very handy when there are many files/folders in a directory.
Is this possible?

Yes, you can use Quick Search for this functionality. Mode should be set to "Search". Simpliest way to use "Letter" key mode. "Start with" checkbox checked.

Thank you. This seems to only work with folders/files with names (letters).
With folders/files that have a number as name this does not work.
Typing the number toggles Command Prompt.

Can this feature be added?

Command Prompt should take keys only when Letter mode turned off for Quick Search.
This should work for letters and numbers also.
Nothing to do with folder names.

Re: Jumping to files/folders by pressing the first letters/numbers name

My settings for Quick search are:

Type = Search
Shortcut = Letter
Starts with filter

But it still does not work with numbers?
Letters are OK.
When I type a letter a field is opened with that letter and the first folder with that name is selected.
When I type a number in that field it also works.
But typing directly does not do anything.
