Use first letter of file to highlight it in the directory tree in PhpStorm

When I want to quickly navigate to a file in a normal operating systems file tree I click into the tree then I press a letter and it will move to the files starting with this letter. Continuous pressing of that letter will move through all files starting with this letter. I'm used to that behavior and find it very intuitive.

But in PhpStorm they changed that, when I click in the tree and type the letter this "Search for:" window appears and I need to enter a lot of the file name in order to reliable highlight the file. In some cases it will even move to files in a completely other place in the tree as it doesn't start its search from the first letters of the files but those that match most.

How can i deactivate this "feature" of PhpStorm and is it even possible?

Thank you!

You can't deactivate this & you can't switch to Windows Explorer type of search-as-you-type file searching.
