<div class="moz-cite-prefix">great thanks for the patches ! The
patch for git master will be suffficient.

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">.. just to make sure it is not lost.
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Please create your patch with "git

<div>Here's what I did to serve my needs. So far I love it.<br>
</div>
<div>Well, unfortunately key presses only result in matches of
icon labels of ASCII characters.<br>
</div>
<div>Everything is case insensitive on purpose.<br>
</div>
<div>In the attachment there are two patches. One that I tested
is from Xubuntu 18.04's XFCE 4.12.3. And one that is against
the latest commit in xfce's mirror in github:
eec0c9b2ca7227b65184e2840f2c3e99aa8678b3
xfce-4.14.0-100-geec0c9b2. I haven't tested the latter yet but
I think it should work.<br>
</div>
<div>I'll be glad if someone can make a review. If it is not OK
give me some feedback and I'll try to fix it.</div>

<div>I'm a long time user of XFCE. So far it's been
perfect - stable, solid, robust just as I demand.</div>
<div>It's one thing that I miss and I can't seem to find
searching for it on the internet.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I am at the desktop view seeing all my icons
(I have many documents and folders) I ask how can I
search for icons by name with a keystroke. For example
If I continuously press 's' I would like to be shown
sequentially icons starting with 's' (case insensitive
would be a good option).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any ideas what to check / edit / fix to have this?</div>
<div>What I do now is to open Thunar, go to Desktop and
press 's' to find what I'm looking for but it would
have been easier and more convenient to have this at
the desktop view with the icons just pressing the
appropriate letter.<br>
</div>
