Show dropdown on focus

[sirNemanjapro]

Hi,

I have been searching for a way to open or show the dropdown in a form when I focus on it, The idea behind it was that you are filling out a form, switching to the next element by keyboard using Tab and when you get to the dropdown it is automatically shown when focused.

Right now, its working in a way that you first select the dropdown with Tab, then use a Down arrow key on the keyboard to show the dropdown. I wanted to reduce user action needed for showing the dropdown from 2 to 1 (just Tab).

You can listen for the focus event and call the show method of the selectpicker.

@t0xicCode Sorry, can you give me an example?

I need this as well, $('.selectpicker').selectpicker('show') does not seem to be working for me to bring up the list upon gaining focus or even through firing it via a button.

@t0xicCode do you have an example? Or anyone else? I am looking to get it to show when a user tabs to the control, there is the selectOnTab, which helps when a user tabs out but not when they tab in.
