To clarify, with first item I mean the first item in a lexicographically sorted list of all the items.
I.e. here “Bra…” comes before “Bro…” and that is why “Branches” gets selected.
Ok, I see.
Or advantage, if you would like to verify that you jumped down to the correct item.
You don't get that with the numbers
FYI this keyboard support is standard menu behavior and not specific to TextMate.
Yeah, I suspected that.
In the Subversion bundle we prefix items that we want to “skip” with a hair space (U+200A).
It does give the item a slight indent, but hardly noticable. The problem with the zero-width characters are, that they seem to be ignored by the “type to select” algorithm.
If you add hairspace to the Branches… menu item then please submit a PR as I also occasionally use Browse but never Branches.
I'll give it a try and see how it works.
