Also pass the event to the display method

It would be helpful if the display method would also have the event passed as an argument (same as onSubmit(event, selectedItem?)). Then I could discern between click or keyup as well as backspace or other input.

Good idea. Pondering about it makes me realize that this could be used for tracking user behavior or for analytics too. Will launch a PR with the necessary updates soon. Thanks for the idea.

Hello @speich , this functionality has been implemented in v4.4.0 deployed recently. The display callback now receives an optional 2nd parameter event that can be used as necessary

display(selectedItem, event?: MouseEvent | KeyboardEvent | null) => {
    if (event) {
        // do something
    }
    return `${selectedItem.label}`;
}

It defaults to null and is left undefined when used for generating hints.
Hope that helps!

As of v4.21.0, there are two ways of doing this as described in the FAQ section of the documents.
