Several of my users like the select-on-close behavior when they choose an option using the keyboard's up/down arrow keys, but find that it often selects something they didn't intend to because their mouse happens to be over an option when they "tab through" the dropdown. (Let me know if the behavior I'm describing isn't clear.) Is there any way to have select-on-close only apply to selections made with the keyboard, not selections "made" with the mouse? If there's not currently, could there be? Thanks!

Unfortunately the "select on close" functionality works by selecting the option that is highlighted when the dropdown is closed. So if their mouse happens to highlight an option as they are going through, that will be the one that is selected.
That's assuming that their mouse actually moves before the dropdown is closed. If it's just hovering over, and they moved the highlight with their keyboard, then that would actually be a bug. If that is the case, can you open a ticket on GitHub about it?

Right. I was just wondering if there could be an option to do what I

wanted (only consider options highlighted via the keyboard). If not,
would it be fairly easy to fake using event triggers?
