[Create Menu] Using down arrow following search, does not select options

--

-

*Repro:*
* From the Hierarchy, right-click and start typing the name of the Component you wish to invoke
* As the user types, the list of creatable options is filtered, which is correct
* Press the down-arrow on the keyboard

*Observed:*
* The available options are not preselected. The cursor does not leave the text input field

*Expected:*
* Pressing down on the keyboard should preselect the first item on the filtered list. Pressing down subsequent times, should move down the list

*Notes:*

In most common quick-search tools - Window Start, or Mac Spotlight being obvious examples - the user is able to select from the filtered list. In Unity's new Create menu, this is not the case, which is quite jarring (in fact, users can select from the filtered list using only the keyboard, but they must press tab first. This is uncommon, and discoverability is poor).

We should follow the prevalent HMI convention here.

 

 

  1. Resolution Note:

    Due to the state of the new Contextual Menus feature, we decided to revert to OS Menus in 2023.3. Hence, we are cancelling all 2023.2.X ports and recommend using 2023.3.0b1 or higher for more stable context menus. The feature will be reconsidered in future versions.
