Hey @t-hamano , if I'm not mistaken you use a Windows machine regularly. I have found this comment in the V1 component: gutenberg/packages/components/src/custom-select-control/index.js Lines 26 to 29 in b76de86 Are you aware of this behavior? Would it be ok if, in the V2 (non legacy) version of the component, we relied on the arrow down key to open the select popover? Thank you 🙏 |

This is the first time I've seen this code, but it looks like it's intended to simulate the behavior of the native select element in Windows OS. On Windows OS, the native select elements behave as follows:

I don't really understand the history of this PR being submitted, so sorry if I'm off the mark 🙏 |

Thank you, @t-hamano ! Always appreciate your help :D
It seems that there isn't a standard behavior across OSs — on MacOS, pressing arrow down on a closed Looking into the WAI-ARIA APG, it looks like the recommended behavior is to open the dropdown when pressing arrow down:
That is a valid concern, but unfortunately, one that we can't easily solve across all OSs unless we try to sniff the OS (which I'd like to avoid). In this scenario, I'd suggest we follow the WAI-ARIA APG — that would mean that, in |

🤔 Shouldn't we allow Ariakit imports within the components package? Sounds like it could be an exception to the ESLint rule.

Change the result of pressing the arrow down key when focussing the trigger button on V2
CustomSelectControl(non-legacy). While the V1 and the V2 legacy wrapper select previous/next option item (with the select popover hidden), the V2 (non legacy) component opens the select popover instead.Why?
The V1 behavior felt non-standard, but we see value in retaining the original behavior in the V2 legacy wrapper.
Having a separate V2 allows us to switch to a better, more standard default.
How?
showOnKeyDownprop to internal users of theButtonisLegacyprop to affect theshowOnKeyDownbehaviorTesting Instructions
CustomSelectControl. Focus the trigger button and press the arrow down key. V1 and V2 (legacy wrappers) should keep the select popover closed and change item selection, while V2 (default) should open the select popover.
