Hi Axel,
I recorded this clip on Haiku and I able to play and see this video on
Haiku using MediaPlayer and on Windows 7 using VLC 2.2.1
With "the icon which starts with the "L" letter" I mean the text of the
icons.
If i do the same on the Desktop of Windows (Icon mode here and also as on
Haiku), if I press the "T" letter on the keyboard, then will be
highlighted an icon which its text start with the "T" letter, then I press
again the "T" letter on the keyboard and will be highlighted another icon
which its text start with "T": this will be cyclic (on the Desktop of
Windows I have seven icons where the text start with "T").
If I do the same on the Desktop of Haiku (on the Desktop of Haiku I have
four icons where the text start with "T") will be highlighted just the
"Trash" and then an icon where the text start with the "L" letter, then
this selection doesn't work anymore.
I talked about "Implement '''a sort''' of type-ahead filtering" since the
described behaviour doesn't properly work at all.
