Pet peeve: On macOS, dropdowns let you type to jump to the right item. But hitting space resets the search. So in a form with a "state" field, to select "New York" you can't type "new<space>y" to jump to it. You have to type "new", then hit the down arrow three times to get past New Hampshire, New Jersey and New Mexico.
- emilfihlman 7y agoBad UX that for it to be space imho, it should be backspace that triggers it.
- wokkel 7y agoI'm a fast typer: a single backspace should not undo all keystrokes so far, only the last character should be deleted from my search. Better yet: show me what i'm typing using a pop-up textfield. Windows native ui also gets this wrong.
