Hello,

I am using the v1.0.2 of jquery autoselect plugin authored by Jörn
Zaefferer, on bassistance.de.  First off, thank you for some great
code.  It provides some critical functionality for the website I am
trying to design.

Here is the issue that I am struggling with: the up and down arrow
keys are disabled in autoselect text input areas.

The reason this is an undesirable behavior in my case is that I
autoselect "template" phrases that are meant to be modified in some
way.  These phrases are long, and with the <multiple> option set to
"true", can easily cover more than one line.  After autoselecting a
"template" phrase, I usually need to navigate around to modify certain
parts of it.  This can be done with the mouse, but I prefer the
keyboard arrow keys.

The autoselect text input area initializes with nonfunctioning up/down
arrow keys when there is no text; after some text has been
autocompleted into the form, pressing the up/down arrows results in
the javascript window popping up with the previous selection, provided
that the prior text has not been altered.

Is there some way to alter the behavior of this to preserve the
function of the up/down arrow keys within the textbox?

Thanks much for your time,
Stephen
