IMPORTANT As using the autocomplete for search keyword suggestion, user should be able to close the overlay to input their custom string for a better UX.

Current behavior

can only close overlay by clicking outside of the list

Expected/desired behavior

can close overlay by key, eg. ESC key

Other information

Also, is there a way of closing the overlay programmatically? I'm trying to add functionality for auto-selecting an item in the list when you type it exactly as it is.
