Disable auto focus for option

[khawerrind]

First of all thank you for the great library.

I wanted to ask if there is any option to not select any option by default? I want the option to be selected only when user use arrow keys or click on an option using mouse.

In this code line https://github.com/JedWatson/react-select/blob/master/src/Select.js#L458, look like
focusOption is always the first or last menu option.
I am also looking for a way to disable this behaviour - "auto select an option when menu open".

Anyone found a solution for this?

Hello, @JedWatson
Thank you for the flexible and useful tool. Could you provide some hardcoded solution for this issue? And what about the autoFocus prop?
Thanks,
Yurii

While it would be great for this PR to be merged, I believe I managed to accomplish this with the following hackery:

onInputChange={(value: string) =>{ this.selectRef.select.getNextFocusedOption = ()=>null; }}

There is no longer any default selection, but arrow keying still works.

I then also bind to onKeyDown to intercept submission from input and fire submission callback with text directly from input.

There is an approved PR for this - #3010

This will be resolved when #4080 is merged.
