Hi,

I have a JTable that lists a bunch of users.  Is there a way to have the
JTable selection jump to an item alphabetically based on a key press?

That is, if I open the Windows file explorer to c:/windows and press 'G', it
selects "Gone Fishing.bmp" because it's the first file that starts with G.

Is there a simple way to get JTable to do this?  Any help is greatly
appreciated,

Sam

If you are asking whether there is a simple property you can set to make
it behave this way, the answer is "no", but it is not hard to implement.
Add a KeyListener to the JTable and set the selection in the keyTyped()
method.
