Description

I'm after a way to select items with the keyboard (after the combo box popup has been opened with the mouse) without giving the combo box a keyboard-based focus policy. The example below works, but there is no visual feedback that the current item has changed when a key is pressed; it only becomes obvious once the combo box popup is closed.

import QtQuick 2.6
import QtQuick.Controls 2.1

ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480

    ComboBox {
        id: comboBox
        model: ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L"]
        focusPolicy: Qt.ClickFocus
        anchors.centerIn: parent

        Keys.onPressed: {
            if (event.key >= Qt.Key_A && event.key <= Qt.Key_Z) {
                var index = comboBox.find(event.text, Qt.MatchStartsWith);
                print(index)
                if (index !== -1) {
                    comboBox.currentIndex = index;
                    event.accepted = true;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
