Browsing through the menu with shift key

• downshift version: 1.28.0
• node version: /
• npm (or yarn) version: /

Problem description: I don’t know if this is an issue or if it is intended, this is just an observation and I couldn’t find a test for this use case. When using the shift key together with arrow down while having one of the the last 5 items in the menu selected, the first item in the menu gets selected. The same happens with arrow up, while being at the first 5 items in the menu then the last item gets selected.

To reproduce it, you use any of the codesandbox examples or one of the storybook examples.

Suggested solution: My suggestion would be to stay at the bottom/top of the menu, or to select the ‘right’ item. But again, I might be wrong 😅

Yes, this is by design. It’s a “power-user” feature

No, this feature has nothing to do with the name “downshift” 😅

Yes, we should probably document it (any takers?)

You will be able to use the new feature being worked on for https://github.com/paypal/downshift/issues/330 to override the behavior if you don’t like it.

Yes, I understand that when it goes around the top or bottom things can behave a little oddly.

No, I don’t really want to change that behavior because the feature is intended to help you move around quickly, not get to a specific item.

Yes, when that new prop is implemented, you could make it do what you want.

Yes, I knew that things like this would come up and I’m feeling better and better about the fact that I didn’t decide to make a one-off prop to handle the #330.

Yes, I’m responding with Yes/No sentences because I started the first two that way and it was fun.

Yes, I can be odd sometimes 🙃

it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to document this in some form in the README, so I’ll go ahead and leave this open.

Sure, I’d love to contribute to Downshift by adding this to the docs 😃
