Type to go to artist
Hi - I can't find the answer to this, and hope someone can direct me. In MM4, if I type an artist name while I am in the list of artists, I am taken to the artist in the list so that I do not have to scroll through down the list to the artist. In MM5, typing opens the search box and displays options but does not take me to the artist on the list. I can't find the option to do so. Any help would be appreciated. Thx.

If the Media Tree is active (ie. last item clicked is a node in the Media Tree) you can type to jump if the option for scroll to match is enabled. However if the Filelisting is active than Contextual Search is executed.

If you are typing into the Media tree (left panel), make sure that you have "Scroll to match" checked in the the three dot menu at the top of the Media Tree panel ... Also need "Show All Subnodes" checked.
If you are typing in the main panel, try changing the "Search Current View" setting to "scrolls to match" at Tools>Options>Library>Search.

For the latter method, with options adjusted, it seems to me you also need to first sort on the column in which you expect to find the letters you type.
Typing in the Media tree does scroll to artist if I am in the artists list view, but not in list by album view.
In that view with all tracks selected, and sorted by artist or not, I get a toast message saying "Ctrl+down for next match, but it does not move.
