I've never tried this, but thought about it. I'd imagine you'd
want to subclass the table view and override -keyDown: ... I'd also
imagine you'd want to set an "append to search string" timer that
starts a new search string if more than a second or two has passed
since the last -keyDown:, otherwise the next key is appended to the
search string.
I'd guess you'd use the table's current sort key and jump to the
first item in the data source whose value matches (starts with) the
search string.
Of course the more advanced behavior (such as the user typing "j"
but the nearest match starts with a "k") would probably take a bit
more thought ... :-)
Has anyone else done this?

Hey all,
I've got a tableview in my app and I am wanting to let users to
spell out the item they want and then have it selected(like in the
Finder, Xcode, most apps). I'm just wondering what I need to do to
make this happen. My hunch is that it has something to do with
sort descriptors. Am I on the right track?
Thanks,
