Description

For example:

On the reddit front page, and in subreddits http://www.reddit.com/ or http://www.reddit.com/r/* I'd like to be able to type the name of the post to open it,

But on a user's profile http://www.reddit.com/u/* I'd rather use letters, because the links you'll want to click on are very similar (Eg, lots of 'context' links)

I'm sure there are a lot of good examples of where this would be helpful.
