Description

It would be useful if entering the first few letters of a file or directory name would select the correct icon, similar to Finder (macOS) of File Explorer (Windows)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the shinyFiles package to understand how file browsing is implemented. Look for the HTML/JavaScript that renders the file list. Implement a filter or search mechanism that jumps to the first file/directory matching the typed letters, similar to native file managers.
