Yes, Tab alone will do the trick. Also, to jump back to the first item (alphabetically first, that is) hit the space bar.

Though in Leopard, spacebar has been reallocated to operate the quick preview window known as Quicklook.

alt + space should work in Leopard 10.5, then ;-)
And, it's not exactly the same functionnality here: as already covered/known, hitting the first(s) letter(s) of a filename highlights the file in the Finder considering its first letter's filename ; if no file is found, the nearest letter is used: so, here, as [space] is down ranked, it highlights the first one.
And then, [shift-]Tab can be used to cycle trough de directory's files.

Anyway, should anyone submit a hint to the "double-clic to open a file/folder in the Finder", too?
