[combobox] Allow automatic selection of first option

See original GitHub issue

🚀 Feature request

Current Behavior

While typing into a ComboboxInput, no ComboboxOption elements are selected.

Desired Behavior

While typing into a ComboboxInput, there should be an optional behavior to allow the first ComboboxOption element to be automatically selected.

Who does this impact? Who is this for?

This impacts users looking to implement smoother auto-completion flows with a combobox.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

I have considered manually calling focus() on a ref of the first ComboboxOption but this does not result in the element being selected.
