Move cursor by typing letter in file explorer for open and save files.

In windows explorer it's possible to navigate quickly through a long list of files by pressing A or E or Z to go immediately to files or folders starting with that letter.

Unfortunately Textpad open/save file dialog is missing this functionality, significantly slowing down file operations.

So you mean the text cursor. Hint: You could even continue typing the first letters of a filename to get there, not just the first. And this is not a limitation to Explorer alone - it works with any List View on its first column.

Try avoiding the themed dialog, because 9.x doesn't use Windows' native GUI anymore and as a result the 3rd party GUI provider hasn't fully imitated every aspect.

You can revert to using that with Configure » Preferences » File » Use the standard file open dialog box.
