Feature Request: Enter key behavior

[rockymeza]

I wanted to ask if the following enter key behavior would be something that you would consider accepting, before I try to add it in a PR.

State: an option is highlighted in the menu.
Current behavior: select highlighted item
(no change)

State: user has typed a search, there are search results
Current behavior: nothing
New behavior: selects first result

State: user has typed a search, there are no search results (allowNew=false)
Current behavior: nothing
(no change)

State: user has typed a search, there are no search results (allowNew=true)
Current behavior: nothing
New behavior: creates new selection

State: user has not typed a search
Current behavior: event.preventDefault()
New behavior: allow submitting the form

Thanks!

New behavior: allow submitting the form

This should have been addressed with #135. You can set submitFormOnEnter to enable the behavior.

Current behavior: nothing
New behavior: selects first result

State: user has typed a search, there are no search results (allowNew=true)
Current behavior: nothing
New behavior: creates new selection

These both seem to address the same behavior, which is auto-highlighting the first (or only) option. This issue is currently being tracked in #77. I've looked into adding support for this and as I recall, it wasn't as easy as it seemed at first glance. #136 tried to add it but only addresses adding the item and not auto-highlighting (which is the trickier piece). If you'd like to take a stab at it, by all means go ahead.

Closing, since these issues have either been addressed or are already being tracked.

thanks for the quick response! Thanks for pointing out submitFormOnEnter and I'll take a look at #77 and see if I can knock it out.
