Typing the first letter(s) of a variable to get quickly to that place in the WOrkspace

WHen a list contains many items, it's very useful to get to the one you need by typing its first letter or first few letter. This works for instance in Windows Explorer and most modern user interfaces across platforms.
In the Matlab WOrkspace, this does not work, e.g. hitting 'x' will not take me to the first variable whose name starts with x. This means time wasted browsing through variables.
Is there a way to make such a feature work?

I have seen other people can do it in their MATLAB but I just can't figure out how to do it in mine

This functionality does seem to work (at least in R2019b). I don't know how the new editor behaves.
When trying to type function arguments, tab completion may not work, or it may not work as expected if you're working with a user-defined function.
