Option: tab to auto-complete completes to the first match #18973

Your use case

What would you like to do?

Create an option, default to off, in which the first name would be autocompleted while still allowing me to select another name from the list if that was wrong.

Why would you like to do it?

The default behaviour was changed in https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/5659 such that auto-complete doesn't pick the first name. Some users have muscle memory for that flow and prefer it.

Have you considered any alternatives?

We could revert back to the original behaviour, but it was made to improve accessibility by freeing up tab to cycle input focus - this is pretty important for ARIA standards and consistency with other platforms.
