Search start menu folders without accelerators. #2405
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Coming from Classic Shell (Windows 10). I have Open Shell start menu configured to open without the search box selected, so Tab selects search box.
With this configuration in Classic Shell, if I open the start menu (search box not selected) and type a character, the selection moves to the first item which begins with that letter (if it is a folder, the folder is NOT expanded); if type that letter again, moves to the next item which begins with that letter, and so on.
With Open Shell, something similar can be achieved only by having "Enable accelerators" checked. So if the start menu has a folder called Communications, then pressing 'c' will move selection to that folder. The problem is that if there is an item beginning with 'p' for example, then when pressing 'p' the selection immediately and automatically goes to the Programs folder, so there is no way to select the other folder beginning with 'p' simply by typing 'p'. Likewise for any other underlined accelerator ('s' for Setting, 'u' for Shut Down, etc.).
If "Require Alt key for accelerators" is checked, then pressing a character Without Alt, no longer goes to any folder.
A very simple solution would be to go to the folder with the underlined accelerator when Alt is used (and that option is checked), but when Alt is not used, then simply go to the first item which begins with that letter, just as it does now for letters which are not accelerators.
A second, less important issue, is that when 'c' is typed and the Communications folder is selected, I would prefer that the folder not be expanded (like in Classic Shell), but can completely understand that perhaps others might prefer that it be expanded. Therefore and additional option could included.

And an additional option to not expanded selected folder.
