Hi,
when a select box is selected and there are say 200 options available it is
rather comfortable to use the keyboard to select the first option beginning with
'any char'. Indeed, in some situations this is not sufficient for me. I would
like to be able to also type a second char and a third one to come closer to the
final option I want to choose (if you find 150 options commencing with an 'e'
you are very happy if you can jump to 'enhancement' by just typing 'enh' (now it
selects the first option beginning with 'e' than the first one beginning with
'n' then the first one beginning with 'h'). Indeed, this behaviour would
interfere with Mozilla's behaviour that the second option beginning with 'any
char' is selected when re-typing the char.
