TUAW Tip: type a letter to find a menu item

This i 't quite a mind-blowing feature, but it might come in handy to those who frequently need to track down a ecific menu item or command. In the menus of any a (including even menubar utilities), you can simply type the first letter of an item you're trying to find in the currently selected menu. This unfortunately doe 't seem to work acro all menus, i.e. - you can't type a command to find it in any menu in the current a , but it should at least help with those "oh I *know* it's in this menu somewhere" moments. This also a ears to work acro all a , Carbon (Finder, Firefox) included.

Oh a broader scale, this trick works in many a in various ways. iTunes is perha the best example: you can type the first few letters of an item you're looking for in your media list (or in the Sources list on the left), and iTunes will take you to that particular section, based on which column you're currently sorting items by, or which Browse column you have selected.
