Hi!

A small feature request to improve userfriendlyness: when using field types like ‘Relation’, where you can enable a search field too, the user is confronted with search results and a list of items in general.

To make selection an item more fluentlym especially after a search, it would be very beneficial to be ablte to use arrow keys (↑ and ↓) to navigate through that list.

This is really intuitive!
All ‘classic’ UI elements have this btw, and chzn too.

See my screenshot additionally.

Thanks and kind regards!

Hi @Darkwing

Nice one. Yes, after we tackle some of the bigger issues with ACF, I would like to add this nice UX feature in.

Cheers

Hi @Darkwing

I’m sorry to say, but I simple do not have the time to debug this issue for you. As a developer, you should be able to debug the issue in no time, using some simple print_r and die methods.

The support forum is free. I am one person. There are over 1 million users. I would like to enjoy my weekends. I think I deserve that.

Thanks
