Using numbers on remote to skip down alphabetic lists of media like cell phones do

[Douro]

The number keys on my MCE remote have letters like phones do. The '2' key also has 'A', 'B', and 'C' printed on it. The '3' key also has 'D', 'E', and 'F' printed along the bottom. etc, etc.

In my cell phone, when browsing though my list of contacts, if I hit the '3' key it takes me to my contacts starting with the letter 'D'. If I double tap the '3' key it takes me to my 'E' contacts.

It would be great if Boxee would do the same when browsing my list of movies. Hit the '3' key on the remote, and Boxee go down the list to the movies that start with 'D'. Triple tap the '8' key and go down the list to movies that start with 'V'.

It is up there now, and I hope I get some love. I use the remote almost exclusively and it just kills me to have to press down, down, down, down, down, down....75x down to get to what ever I'm looking for. Right now, there are only ~125 movies in the directory. I can't imagine what it will be like when I have 500 or more.

If anyone reading this thinks this is a good idea, please take a moment to thumbs up the idea on http://getsatisfaction.com/boxee
