Describe your motivation

Assume that my dropdown contains 500 objects and that I have selected 10 of them at random. If I want to remove one that is in the overflow chip currently the two options are to:

  • navigate the dropdown (with 500 entries) and find the ones I have selected and unselect, though searchable it's not optimal for lists of similar entries
  • remove all entries with backspace until I remove the one I want and then re-add the ones I didn't want to remove

This is something that I would consider inaccessible. With no way of removing a selected object in an easy way it becomes fairly hard to work with this.

Describe the solution you'd like

I figured that if I use the left arrow key that it would "expand" the overflow chip and allow me to navigate through them, adding a second overflow chip on the right.

[...] = overflow chip

[...] [Object 5] [Object 6] [...]

If I were to use the arrow keys and navigate left I would expect it to shift, so that Object 6 would be added to the right overflow chip, and Object 4 would be shown in addition to Object 5.
