Hello,this is a feature available in Gnome's Nautilus and it's pretty much what i miss most from my gnome experience!
When you are a exploring a folder,if you don't have any folders/files selected you can strike the first few letters from the file/folder you wanna access and nautilus figures out which is it and highlights it!
Dolphin only highlights when striking the first letter,so when you have multiple files/folders starting from the same letter you have to keep pressing the letter and skip through all of them until you reach the one you want...
I'd love to see that in Dolphin,what do you guys think?

Works for me (I am running SC 4.4 RC1 at the moment so perhaps it might've been implemented recently)

Sounds like a bug with your setup.
