AutoComplete: mark text with shift+Home does not work.

[Rakasch]

Describe the bug

If you set the cursor in the text field at the end of the text, you can usually use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Pos1 to select the whole text in the text field.
This works in the InpuText Component.
Unfortunately it does not work in the AutoComplete Component.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Go to https://www.primefaces.org/primevue/autocomplete

I expect the text to be highlighted.
just like in the InputText component.

Hi,

Unfortunately, I don't have a keyboard that supports Pos1 key. A PR from your side on this topic would be excellent.

I checked, the event.code for the key says "Home".

The same issue exists, when the cursor is at first pos and you hit Shift+End.

[Rakasch]

could be fixed this way for the Home key.
equivalent for the End key.

`onHomeKey(event) {
const target = event.currentTarget;
const len = target.value.length;

        if(event.shiftKey){
            event.currentTarget.setSelectionRange(0, len);
        }else{
            event.currentTarget.setSelectionRange(0, 0);
        }

        this.focusedOptionIndex = -1;

        event.preventDefault();
    },`

Hi,
When I try the Home shortcut for Input Text and AutoComplete in the same scenario, I see the same behavior. Could be something I missed? Thank you.

Not Home, but Shift and Home.
Shift+Home in InputText component highlightes the text.
Shift+Home in AutoComplete component does not highlight the text, it only jumps to the start of the text.

The code of AutoComplete explicitly sets the selection to zero.
event.currentTarget.setSelectionRange(0, 0);

InputText Component highlighted text after Shift+Home:

Just add an if case for event.shiftKey:

if(event.shiftKey){
    event.currentTarget.setSelectionRange(0, len);
}else{
    event.currentTarget.setSelectionRange(0, 0);
}

equivalent for the Shift+End combination.
