"quick locating files" problem

[softer]

as we all known if there are a lot of files in my computer,such as "softer,sefter,sete,swud" we usually use "s" to quick locating this files ,because their first key is "s". my question is if i want to quick locating on "sete" but i press "s" four times, it will never focus on "sete" but on "swud".

when i face this problem i always press "s" for another three times.

my question is if we could find a method just like TAB and SHIFT+TAB, we can easily locating files from above to bottom or from bottom to above.

although we can use quick press "s" "e" "t" to locate "sete",but i do not think it is a good idea.

PS: i do not want to use any other tools such as TC.

i come from china ,my english is poor. i wonder if you could understand my question. 3Q all.

you could, and this is a strange answer to a strange question, just use the arrow keys to nav up and down...

still, there is a reason that windows allows you to type in 's' 'e' 't' 'e'

it works a lot quicker...
