 Currently in chatrooms, when i want to find someone fast, I have to look
 through the whole list.
 Even tough the list is sorted alphabetically, i takes a little too much
 time. #pidgin has over 150 people, and some channels even over a thousand.

 What I'd like to see is when I got the list of people selected and hit a
 letter on the keyboard, the person with that first letter is selected.
 This behavior can be found in many GTK applications so I don't think it's
 very hard to do. And when you type two letters it selects the person with
 those tho letters at the start etc... Hmm, while typing this I see the
 buddy list already has this feature.
