for forms - when you use a dropdown list, have an option to ‘autocomplete’ based on known variables in the list

for example, my dropdown list has 100 options, and 3 of them start with the letter A.

So when i type in ‘a’

it comes up with

‘america’

‘australia’

‘antarctica’

and i can then choose ‘australia’, rather than have to scroll through a big list of all countries starting A-Z.

Yeah this is basic functionality on I thought any form.

Being able to type a letter or a word in a box and have it hop to the item on the list, rather than have to move from keyboard to mouse and scroll to choose. Want to be able to tab to a box and start typing and select with keys, and then tab on to the next box.

Entering contacts would be so much easier, or finding them,
