findermacmacossearch
I switched from PC to Mac, in pc when you're in explorer, you press a key and it highlights the first result of a file/folder that starts with the pressed key, and when you press again it goes to the next result
In mac, when i press a key in finder or anywhere contains files, it only shows the first result and ignores my repeated key presses that is supposed to move to the next result highlight
how to do this ?
Here's the steps I used to do what you're looking for which seem to be working the way you want.
Open Finder and click File > New Smart Folder - or press ⌥⌘N
Then setup as I have in the screenshot below and click 'Save' near the top right.
Then, when the little drop-down menu appears for you to save, select the options like I have below.
Now, you'll get a window left behind like this.
Now, close your new Smart Folder. Then in Finder, open a normal finder window with either File > New Finder Window or ⌘N
Your 'TV' Smart Folder will be listed under the 'Search For' section on the bottom-left if you expand it out, like so
When in the boot manager (the one when you press ⌥ Option on startup), click on the arrow (for the Mac OS X partition). The boot priority should then default to the Mac OS X one.
Otherwise, you can try going to the Startup Disk preference pane in System Preferences, and try setting it (by restarting).

The way it works in OS X's Finder is you can type a word and the selection will move down as filenames are matched.
The quickest way to move between files when typing only the first letter is following up with tab
