xfdesktop go to correct icon on corresponding letter key press

Thunar (and most FMs) has this feature that allows you to select an icon (any icon) in your file browser and then press a letter. As soon as the letter is pressed, the focus/highlight is moved to an icon that starts with the same letter. For example if I have several icons in my window or on my desktop and I select one that is named let's say "Trash Bin" and I press 'q', the file manager will move the highlight to an icon that has a name starting with 'q', like "quota" for example. This is a great feature when there is a large number of files in the particular window. I am not seeing the same behavior in xfdesktop, is that something configurable, or is it not done yet?
