Or, you can type: 'cd', and enter beginning of word, then type<TAB>
to auto-complete, of course, vim's 'wildmenu' auto-complete
functionality [1] is missing, but still, maybe this is what you
looking for.
[1] vim: :h cmdline-completion

'f' does something similar, but it's not the same.
You can't do that by default. Letters are reserved for keybindings by
design, not for searching by file name. However, you could remap every
letter key like "map a console find a" and then "map<backspace> move left=1"
and navigate only with special keys like arrow keys, page up/down, etc.
if that's what you want.
