I see this could be problematic for you to implement since
"highlight"="select" and "current" = cursor where in Tot.Com.
"highlight/current"=cursor, and "red color"="select"

OK, so your problem is that, while WinSCP behaves the same way as Total Commander, you do not like the way it highlights the focused file (the standard Windows highlighting - while Total Commander uses its custom highlighting).
Maybe you would prefer to switch to Explorer-like selection mode.
In that mode, the selection moves with the focus. But I see now that it does not work for the incremental search. I'm going to fix that and will send you a development version then.

Hi,
so i did testing:
- "quick search" implementation is even better
than in Tot.Comm. = Perfect

But:
- during tests with a search i notice that highlight of
current/active item does not met my expectation.

I understand that this is different topic/issue, but maybe
it will improve WinSCP
[ if you need i can create a new Feat.Req. later]

Expectation [ related to the Quick search]:
- [ Even] at first char. match "found" item should be also
"selected/highlighted" addition to the made "current"
- If i have "blue color" selected item and using search i have
to focus my eyes more to find "current" found item since
cursor indicate with dots around it only.

I see this could be problematic for you to implement since
"highlight"="select" and "current" = cursor where in Tot.Com.
"highlight/current"=cursor, and "red color"="select"

Thank you.

Got it [ thanks]
Testing now..
Will report back.

This request has been added to the tracker:

I'm sending you an email with a development version of WinSCP to the address you have used to register on this forum.

Alright, alright, alright..
Let's get it cooking.
Thanks for the support guys.

OK, good idea.

Hi,
i think it would be nice if this feature
was implemented:
- quick search in the folder for directory/file name
while i keep typing.

Explanation:
- i am long-term Total Commander user and when i quickly
find file/folder i just starts typing and in the
current list [ folders/files] cursor keeps jumping to
the one that matches best.

Implementation steps:

1. start typing
2. open line-in widget to see inserted chars
3. find first matching item in the list
4. next char inputed, repeat #3
escape closes line-in filed, and
i left with a searched/found item
