<p dir="auto">Similar to how file explorers/tree views work on most platforms, it would be convenient to be able to navigate through the folder explorer using a-z. For example:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li><kbd>ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>0</kbd> or click to focus sidebar</li>
<li>Type "foo" in quick succession to go to the directory (in the current directory) starting with <code class="notranslate">/fo?o?/</code>, if it exists</li>
</ul>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>VSCode Version: Any</li>
<li>OS Version: Any</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Feature Proposal</strong><br>
When opening a folder containing hundreds of items (for example: <code class="notranslate">node_modules</code>) There is no easy way to get to a child folder/file without scrolling around.</p>
<p dir="auto">Would it be possible to allow the file viewer to navigate down to let's say the first file of the next letter keypressed?</p>
<div class="snippet-clipboard-content notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="node_modules (folder is highlighted)
    ( letter L is hit )
    ---- automatically scrolls down within node_modules to folders beginning with &quot;L&quot;
       +++ Folders shown:
       +  Lodash / etc"><pre class="notranslate"><code class="notranslate">node_modules (folder is highlighted)
    ( letter L is hit )
    ---- automatically scrolls down within node_modules to folders beginning with "L"
       +++ Folders shown:
       +  Lodash / etc
</code></pre></div>
<p dir="auto">Just an idea, would help navigating large filesystems a bit easier.</p>
