Disabling Typeahead auto-selection

[sheeley]

I'm working on a project where we're using Typeahead as auto-suggest, not the only options. The default behavior of selecting the first option can lead to undesirable behavior. Same thing for clearing the text box on enter if nothing is selected.

I'd be happy to submit changes in a pull request, is this something people would use/are interested in? Or have I missed something completely obvious that already exists?

I would also be interested in being able to change the behavior. I use them in a very similar fashion to what you describe, and the clearing on enter can be especially annoying. It's almost hostile to keyboard navigation, yet it doesn't offer a dropdown-style list on-click, either.

This added feature would be super nice to get.

I am in full support of such a feature. I am in the process of implementing this myself.

Cool - feel free to take a look at my fork, I've implemented what I was
looking for.

I can see this being potentially useful, but most of the typeahead/autocompletes I use everyday autoselect the first item. Google Chrome does, Alfred.app does, and many more. However, Google.com doesn't.

If it can be done as an option, I'm game for adding it. Go ahead and submit a new PR and get some guidance from @fat before getting too far in.

I added it as an option with autoSelect on by default. I'll submit a PR. I agree that most auto-select the first one by default but if you want any partial searching capability, you need it to not auto-select.

What is the status of this?

[fat]

if you really want this, i'd be down to review a pull request – otherwise not something we're going to spend much time on

[sheeley]

thanks - i opened a pull request. another dev also opened a request. these were both months ago, would love to see this get pushed into the framework!

[marceloverdijk]

Yes I noticed the pull request as well, that's why I was wondering what the status was.
This would be a very nice addition to typeahead!
