Hello Anthony,

One drawback of this approach is that if there are two matching items, selecting one of them would result in unauthorized manipulation of data by the component. To correct the component value, the user has two options:

1. Reopen the ComboBox and manually scroll through the options to find the desired one.
2. Enter the filter criteria and click on the correct option.

In general, the components in the Telerik UI for Blazor suite are designed to avoid direct interference with the data. This is an important feature that ensures flexibility and predictability in the ComboBox.

Considering the above, I have decided to mark this request as Declined because implementing it would require choosing one of two less optimal choices:

1. Making a selection on behalf of the user when multiple items match the filter criteria.
2. Selecting the matching item (only when there's a single match) and not selecting any item if multiple items match the filter criteria. This would make the component's behavior less predictable, requiring users to interact with it differently based on their input.

Hello Anthony,

Thank you for the additional information. I would like to ask a follow-up question: What should the component select if the Data contains two records that match the user input? For example, the Data contains "Manager Software Engineering" and "Manager Public Relationships". Both items will match the "man" user input and tabbing will always select the first alphabetically sorted item. 

That being said, I believe that your requirement requires a custom solution and the one you have sent to me is the best possible one.

Hello Anthony,

The current behavior of a Grid with InCell mode is with a ComboBox (here is a REPL link where you can test):

• The user utilizes the Up/Down key arrows to navigate through the available options in the popup
• The user clicks the Tab key
• The highlighted item is selected
• The Edit mode is closed
• The next editable cell will be opened for editing

Do you experience the same behavior?

Regarding the Enter and Shift + Enter. This will be available once the Add the ability to customize the keyboard shortcuts feature request is implemented. I have added your Vote for it and you can click the Follow button to receive email notifications on status updates. 

Let me know if you have any further questions.
