Auto scroll to typed character
In the "Find.Marker" dialogue box (and other search dialogue boxes), I'd like to be able to type the first letter of a marker name (similar to the "Find.City/Town search dialogue box). For example, in Find.City/Town, if an "S" is typed, it automatically scrolls to the first city/town that begins with "S". This is a pretty standard feature in many search boxes. It's a bit of a pain to scroll through my
hundreds of markers each time. I requested this years ago.

Under "Find/Marker" or other choices,, make the list a "type-ahead" capable field. Thr rationale is that to find a marker in a list of hundreds (thousands) of markers one has to scroll to and fro to find the desired marker, whereas to find, for example, number 5432 or River xyz, the capability to just type in the number/word and hit enter would be my greatest time and frustration saver.within any of TNP's functions
