In the GoCanvas for Windows app if you tab to move your cursor / focus from a previous field to a drop-down style field, you have to click / tap in order to cause the drop down menu options to appear. It would be awesome if you could just start typing and have a visible auto-fill / type-to-complete style list of the available options start to show up under the field. For users that prefer typing to clicking or tapping, this would save quite a bit of data entry time.

2025 Update:
The Community is getting cleaned up! If you are stumbling across this post after January of 2025, this is the most recent solution or answer to the request in this post.
This is not planned at this time for the Windows client but there is tentative roadmap consideration for the web browser client. This post will be updated when more information is available to share.
I was asked about this again today. When users have to click every time there is a drop down, it slows data entry and causes them to be annoyed. It would be nice for the cursor to go directly into the search bar for a drop down when someone tabs into a drop down from a previous field.
This is also true for other field types, such as date or time. If the user is typing data into a field and tab is pressed, the cursor / focus should automatically move to the next field and be ready for keyboard entry (as opposed to click / tap entry). This would save a lot of time and frustration for users that prefer to type rather than click or tap.
This is still the same in GoCanvas for Windows 9.26.3.1
This is still the case 6 years later
