Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It will be nice to add keyboard support for widget. It will be helpful for desktop applications.

Describe the solution you'd like

firstly to set focus on search field after opening dropdown
then handle up and down keys to move on list
Enter/Tab for confirm selection

Alternatives I don't know if it is possible to manually handle keyboard actions outside of DropdownSearch?

To search from dropdown, you have just use Tab and space (tested on widows). Tab to navigate between widgets and space to click
