Description
Hi,
Feature Request for Windows users:
When the user presses ALT+F1/F2 and the drive selection pane comes up, it works the same way as the normal file pane which means pressing "D" will only filter the items starting with "D", so the user needs to press ENTER to jump to that drive.
In Total Commander it's easier because you just press ALT+F2 and the drive letter and it jumps to the drive without any extra confirmation.
You might have other items in the list as well, for example "Network", so pressing "N" might give you two options if you have an "N:" drive, but I think in the majoriy of the cases you will have only one option, and in these cases it would be great to jump immediately to the drive.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Windows drive-selection pane opened by Alt+F1/F2 and how typed letters are currently filtered. Compare the behavior for a unique drive letter with cases such as Network plus an N: drive. Done means a unique matching drive is opened immediately, while ambiguous choices still allow selection.
