Keyboard navigation doesn't work with search-enabled="false"

[mihaic-gf]

Hello,

Great job with this project, I have only one small problem, if I add search-enabled="false" when I have few options, keyboard navigation doesn't work anymore. Is there any other way to hide search field?

Example:
ui-select ng-model="person.selected" theme="select2" ng-disabled="disabled" search-enabled="false" style="min-width: 300px;"

Best Regards,
Mihai

(many times).

This is the only issue which made our UI testers angry. Keyboard navigation is a must, especially in enterprise applications where system operators often navigate forms only using keyboard because that's much faster.

As far as I have seen, ui-select is the most popular (68 contributors!) dropdown element for Angular, but this issue is real showstopper. Maybe I'll find some time to fix it myself, but more likely, I'll find some other dropdown, maybe less popular (and less supported) but with keyboard navigation. Which is a shame, because otherwise ui-select is great.
