FM 9 Desired Feature - Variables to Return to Match Entry First Letter Functionality

This may have been mentioned before, but I think it bears repeating.
It's been very useful in Frame to type CTRL+0 to get to the variable
list and then to type the first lettter of the named variable and cycle
through until the desired entry appears for selection. 
 
What FM 9 does is bring up the first alphabetically corresponding
variable and then present a drop-down.
 
For example, if I choose M, I get Modification Date. In the past, I
could then type M a couple of times more and wend my way through the
various variables until Machine Name popped up. Now, instead, I have to
go hunt for Machine Name in the drop-down list. 
 
It's a small thing, but an efficiency. A return to the old behavior, in
this case, would be appreciated.
 
Jim
