Autosuggest Phrases – populate on Tab

[mckots87Participant]

Hello,

We would like the autocomplete phrase to complete when the user hits “tab” as most other autocomplete searches work this way.

Could you please help us understand if this is possible and if not, any suggestions on how we can custom develop this feature?

Thank you.

Hi Mike,

You should be able to achieve that with this custom code:

add_action('wp_footer', 'asp_tab_trigger_right');
function asp_tab_trigger_right() {
	?>
	<script>
	jQuery(function($){
		$('input.orig').on('keydown', function(e){
			var kc = e.which || e.keyCode;
			if ( kc == 9 ) {
				e.preventDefault();
				var ev = jQuery.Event("keyup");
				ev.which = 39;
				$(this).trigger(ev);
			}
		});
	});
	</script>
	<?php
}

Best,

Thank you so much. Can you please just help clarify where I should add this code? Does this go in the functions.php file? Im a very amateur developer.

Thank you again!

Hi,

Sure, no problem.

Yes, optimally into the child theme functions.php file.
