SfComboBox keyboard selection support

[Malcolm Jack]

Desired Behavior:

When ComboBox  is editable (I can type any value), is it possible to select an item from the suggestion box using the keyboard up and down keys + Enter for selection?

use case:
when I run my iOS app on a M1 macbook, making a selection using the keyboard up and down keys would greatly increase the user experience.

Unfortunately, it seems the arrow keys don't do this out of the box, and on the M1 the combobox loses focus when the suggestion box disappears because there are no suggestions. This makes for a very frustrating editing experience.
