Configure additional keyboard key to select custom item

Question

Currently, you can press enter key on Windows to select the custom item entry. How can I configure an additional key such as Tab to select/commit the custom item?

Hi Nick, 


Greetings from Syncfusion support. 


We checked your query. We can select the current item when tab on the control using the selectByKey method. Refer the following code and sample. 






  onCreated(){ 
    this.mulObj.inputElement.addEventListener('keydown', (e)=> {  
        if (e.keyCode === 9) {  
            this.mulObj.selectByKey(e);  
            this.mulObj.removeFocus(); 
        }  
    });    
}
