Make selection by typing first letters of option

[Wolfr]

On a native you can type 'B' for instance and it will select an option starting with 'B' (e.g. Bananas.) Are there any plans to replicate this functionality in bootstrap-select?

This functionality already exists by default. For a more advanced version, try the liveSearch option.

Do you mean it exist on bootstrap-select? Because it didn't work for me.

It would be solved if a keystroke triggered the live search field (when the dropdown is closed)

[caseyjhol]

Oh - you mean typing a letter with the menu closed? Yes, there are plans to replicate that.

Yeah I'm sorry it's a bit hard to explain. That is what I meant. This is the #1 thing that is often forgotten on custom selects and very helpful in "Country" form fields.
