📄 Description

Adding an option to disable dropdown primitive automatice selection of an item based on prefix.
Some applications using vim like key binding such as:

j: Move down
k: Move up
l: Move right
h: Move left

Dropdown primitive by default will select an input based on input key rune (prefix) that will cause issue with such a key bindings. Its possible to change to parse and change the key even in the application side, however I thought it will be more cleaner to be have an option.
