Drop Down List Jump

Posted Feb 5, 2007 by David Risley  

Whenever you come across a drop down list input box with a lot of options, rather than scrolling through the list, did you know you can simply type the first letter of the word you are looking for an jump to that point in the list? This is a fantastic shortcut which works in browsers and applications.

For example, when selecting your country or state, rather than scrolling through all the selections, just type the first letter and jump to your selection. Typing the same letter repeatedly will cycle through all selections for that letter.

Give it a try.
