Apple HIGs notwithstanding, I will agree with some of the other participants of
the forum that the typing speed required to reach the 2nd or (especially) 3rd
letter of the author's last name (when using the letters of the author's last
name to jump around in the library) is difficult to achieve unless you really
concentrate.  This might seem a small thing to those of you who have small
libraries, but if you have accumulated many references you will begin to
appreciate the problem more.  Since not everyone can type at 120+ wpm, it would
be a nice feature if the typing rate were adjustable, the way the mouse cursor
speed is.  That way, we could each set it to match our own personal
refexes/typing ability.
