Any ideas on how to implement selecting docs in the library by
typing/drawing the first couple of chars?  I suppose we can use the
jogdial/fiveway/keyboard highlight to indicate the document selection.  (The
highlight is general enough to allow that.)  Should we SHOW the letters
typed in?  E.g., when typing starts, replace the "Name" heading in the
library with a field where the typing happens, and move the highlight among
the documents?  Or should we just allow the typing to happen invisibly?  And
I assume we want to implement this only when things are sorted by name?  (We
could otherwise implement a typing char goes to next doc starting with this
char thing.  However, this may get messy with G2.)  I also assume we should
do this case-insensitively.
