Virtualization Support

[SaavanNanavati]

I want to use react-window with this library. Essentially tree structure would be:

...

Would this work with keyboard nav still?

react-window doesn't work very well with keyboard navigation as far as I know, though I've seen people successfully implementing it with Ariakit composite components. But that's complicated.

We're working on a built-in virtualization feature, but this will take some time.

Can you point me to an example where it's worked?

[diegohaz]

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the code.

I saw in newsletter a note about some virtualization features already existing via the Composite component. If this is true, I think it would be great to have some examples with Combobox.

We have 1000s of items to render and would love to migrate from a custom HeadlessUI + Tanstack Virtual component that we cobbled together.

@ericwilhite There's an example here: https://ariakit.org/examples/select-combobox-virtualized

The *Renderer components are still experimental, though.
