Yes, and Yes
I have a dictionary that I use frequentely. Most of the time I can select a word within 10 pushes. The pointer starts at the left top position. If the word you need is at the lower part of the page, push
'up' and you start from the bottom. If it is on the right side of the page, push
'left' and you are at the right side of the page. This system makes that you can be on the correct quart of the page in max 2 pushes. On the average you need only one. I do not want auto repeat here. The danger of overshooting is very real when you only need 4-5 pushes before you have to change direction
I have about 80 books in the library with 5 books on a page. That makes 16 pages. So I can find the average book in 8+3 pushes. But that is something that happens only once every few days. It can be solved bij a better folder structure.
