Semantic-ui: How to use 'space' to separate tags in a multiple search selection dropdown?

[Qqwy]

I have a form that contains a multiple search selection dropdown (with the setting allowAdditions: true). I want users to be able to insert tags in there. In my application, tags are always lowercase, and cannot contain spaces.

I would like to override Semantic UI's handling of the space character when it is used in the search input that it generates in the multiple search selection dropdown, so that it works the same way that enter and tab work, in that the current selection is changed into a new tag. How can this be done?

As a side note, in many browsers, pressing enter in this input auto-submits the whole form, making it rather important in my opinion that it is possible to alluw the use of another key to convert the latest input into a new tag.

Hi @Qqwy, the easiest way is to override it in the keys object that you can find at the bottom of the dropdown component’s documentation:

$('.ui.dropdown')
  .dropdown({
    allowAdditions: true,
    keys: {
      delimiter: 32, // 188 (the comma) by default.
    }
  })

You could also assign the space key to enter property instead.
