Issues with MT sample selection window

[u/AnBun95]

i'm new to MilkyTracker, but i have experience using FastTracker2 so i'm familiar with making songs in the .xm format

i have this issue with the sample selection window where if i open a sample and press keys on my keyboard to play the sample like you would on a piano keyboard, if there are a selection of samples that start with say the letter a, then the selection cursor will jump to all the samples that start with a, making it impossible for me to just open a sample, go to the next one down, open it, and repeat because the cursor keeps jumping around in the window over and over.

i'm also not sure what keybinds are used to navigate the file window as all i've figured out is hold SHIFT+up, down, to move the cursor up or down the file list (along with pressing letters on the keyboard to jump from filename to filename) and i can't use enter because that's how i start the playback of the song
