[Gimp-user] Tool Options and finding a resource

[DJ]

Hi Gimp-user,

Whether it's the Font on the Text Tool, or Brush on the Paint Tool, or
Pattern Fill on the Bucket Tool, scrolling through the lists is slow
and sensitive. I tried typing the first letter of font, brush, or
pattern in the list but that doesn't seem to work. I didn't precede it
with any alternate key (shift, ctrl, alt). What is the best (fastest
:-)) way to get to, or position yourself, to the resource?

For example:

Text Tool
Click on Font Icon
The active font is Arial and I want to get to Tahoma.

SuSE Linux.
GIMP 2.6.3

Thank you.
