This release adds improved keyboard navigation to the Dropdown component, restoring the efficient workflow from Dash 3:

New behavior:

  • Auto-open on typing: When the dropdown trigger is focused, start typing to immediately search (no need to press DOWN first)
  • TAB to select: Press TAB to select the first filtered option and move to the next element

Workflow comparison:

  • Dash 3 / This patch: [SEARCH] → TAB → [SEARCH] → TAB → ...
  • Default Dash 4: DOWN → [SEARCH] → DOWN → ENTER → TAB → ...
