Stackblitz url doesn't seem to work, so here's MCVE:

<p-dropdown [filter]="true" [options]="['Australia', 'Brazil', 'China']">

Hi,

Selection by specifically shift + end and shift + home keys are not supported. shift + end and shift + home are navigate to either first or last element in the dropdown. Set selectOnFocus to true to enable selection by focusing on an option.

Here is a stackblitz example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/dbpmhs?file=src%2Fapp%2Fdemo%2Fdropdown-basic-demo.html

@cetincakiroglu In stackblitz example you gave:

1. there is no [filter]="true", thus no text input
2. shift is unnecessary to navigate, first/last item can be selected with home/end only (is this another bug?)

Selection by specifically shift + end and shift + home keys are not supported.

What kind of selection did you have in mind?

My bad, I missed the explanation, I got you know, I'll check it again. Thanks for letting me know 👍🏻

Please also note, that this is a regression. Text selection (and I mean text input which is used for filtering) was working properly on v15, but stopped working on v16.
