This feels like reinventing the wheel. There are a bunch of really great "desktop" web frameworks out there, e.g. https://ant.design - which is great.

Apparently the Select component doesn't support any keyboard commands - something quite many users do use on a regular basis. So apparently it's a downgrade over the default browser behaviour.

I don't think that ever makes sense when it comes to design. No one ever says there are so many shirts out there let's not design another one...

Perhaps not, but many should.

Do you mean this? Focusing, and selecting seems to work well on the keyboard. https://element.eleme.io/#/en-US/component/select

I notice you can't type "O" and have it select the option starting with "O"

Element is based on Ant-Design, but created in Vue.
