Hi Emmanuel. Thank you for your response. Unfortunately mere autocompletion without a dropdown doesn't work for us. We're using PC Tablets and we have to keep the number of clicks to a minimum whenever possible. As it is now, if two strings start with a commun fragment, and the user intends to use the second one (alphabetical order wise), he has to type all those characters of the fragment up to the first charcater where the two strings diverge. For example :
salle à manger
salle de bain
Here if the user wants to produce "salle de bain", he has to type : "salle d".
So I really believe a dropdown is more effective here. It also has the benefit of letting the user see at a glance the out-of-box input and remove items he no longer needs.
Here I attached the component I've written so you can have a look or customize it if you want. I hope you'll reconsider. Thanks
