Navigate through explorer by typing start of file/folder name #10026

Feature Proposal
When opening a folder containing hundreds of items (for example: node_modules) There is no easy way to get to a child folder/file without scrolling around.

Would it be possible to allow the file viewer to navigate down to let's say the first file of the next letter keypressed?

node_modules (folder is highlighted)
    ( letter L is hit )
    ---- automatically scrolls down within node_modules to folders beginning with "L"
       +++ Folders shown:
       +  Lodash / etc

Just an idea, would help navigating large filesystems a bit easier.
