KFTypeSelectTableView is a subclass of NSTableView that adds Finder-like keyboard navigation.

When the table has keyboard focus,
• Typing a few characters selects a matching table row.
• ^? and ^? and select next and previous match.
• ESC and ?. cancel.

This is the class that powers the MailTypeSelect plugin, and the project includes the source for that plugin. There are a few other example targets, including one that adds type-select to all table views system-wide.

What's New:
The delayed message that clears the input buffer can no longer can extend the life of the tableview. In Adium, a pending delayed message could keep the table alive past the lifetime of its delegate, which led to a crash.
More careful about the use of +load in plugins.
