Description
Currently, a user must either use his arrow keys or his mouse to select an item from the drop-down list.
This makes for poor usability. Type-ahead functionality would allow the user to stop typing as soon as he'd entered the minimum number characters to have the choice he wants to select selected, without having to use his mouse or arrow keys.

Amending my reply - I've gone through your collection of extensions, and those'll do the trick.
I still disagree that the default behavior = good usability if you're using the control on a form with multiple fields.
Thanks for the extensions and the tip!

We don't consider this poor usability. The autocomplete widget is based very heavily on Firefox's awesome bar which does not include type-ahead functionality.
