Correct VaSelect keyboard navigation

[m0ksem]

Enter usually used for submit action in form. I would rather just use space to open select. Pressing enter on any component could submit my form.

Also, up and down buttons often used not for dropdown opening, but switching between options without opening dropdown.

Take a notice that VaTimePicker also must select option on space, instead of scroll.

OR do we want to change space to enter? Not sure here...

Regarding enter/space usage I think best idea would be to stick to vanilla behavior, as that could be something that user expects.

For vanilla select:

• enter opens select and selects values
• space only opens select

but switching between options without opening dropdown

Yeah. That's a good one, matter of convenience for selects with few options. We can definitely implement it.

A matter of convention. It might make sense not to close picker on enter (select does close).

Let's use enter as select option action. Looks like selecting only with space, it is macOS only specific behavior.

I support this - UP and Down buttons to open dropdown seems a bit weird.

Or we could add enter there as well :)

If depends on focus - if Select is focused enter will not submit form, not sure where this can cause issues.

Yeah on windows it opens by "Enter" press.

Since we support multiple select, it is suggested that UP and DOWN keys must open dropdown. So this issue probably need to be closed.
