Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/anomalyco/opentui/issues/43

Description

The input, select, tab-select, box, group and text components don't support standard React ref and key props, causing TypeScript compilation errors when trying to use these props.

Proposed Solution

Extract a ReactProps<TRef> utility type that includes only ref and key props (without children) and apply it to the affected component types, while keeping ContainerProps for components that need children.

Additional Context

I have already implemented and tested a fix for this issue locally. Happy to submit a PR if this approach sounds good.
