Hi,
Sorry for the late reply.
If you're using our MenuComponent, you can display and hide the menu using the component's show and hide functions.
Here is an example:
useEffect(() => {
setTimeout(()=>{
if(!searchEl.current){
return;
}
const menuInst = MenuComponent.getInstance(searchEl.current);
const handleKeyDown = (event: KeyboardEvent) => {
if (event.key === "/") {
menuInst?.show(searchEl.current!);
event.preventDefault();
}
};
document.addEventListener("keydown", handleKeyDown);
})
}, []);Regards,

I build similar and here is a basic example (you have to customize this to your needs
import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
const Search = () => {
const [isDropdownVisible, setDropdownVisible] = useState(false);
useEffect(() => {
document.addEventListener("keydown", handleKeyDown);
return () => {
document.removeEventListener("keydown", handleKeyDown);
};
}, []);
const handleKeyDown = (event) => {
// Check if the "/" key is pressed
if (event.key === "/") {
event.preventDefault();
toggleDropdown();
}
};
const toggleDropdown = () => {
setDropdownVisible(!isDropdownVisible);
};
return (
<div>
<input
type="text"
placeholder="Search..."
onFocus={() => setDropdownVisible(true)}
onBlur={() => setDropdownVisible(false)}
/>
{isDropdownVisible && (
<div className="search-dropdown">
{/* Dropdown content goes here */}
<p>Dropdown Content</p>
</div>
)}
</div>
);
};
export default Search;
