I'm always frustrated when the keyboard navigation doesn't work on lists. Power search has an auto-complete / search suggestions list that doesn't support keyboard navigation.

To reproduce:

Press / from any page in Hoppscotch to bring up power search
Try navigating through search suggestions or auto-complete if you type in a query through the keyboard: ↑ or ↓
↑ or ↓ keyboard Navigation doesn't work

This would be a nice to have feature. Power search components are custom-made and extendable.

kbar project seems to be an example of good power search implementation with keyboard navigation, back and forth navigation, nested menus, etc.
