#4I've been using this for a while. Could have sworn I found it on HN.
Anyway, great utility, extremely useful and could well be the way native drop downs should work.

#7Really good stuff!
The only thing I find missing is that, with the keyboard on a multiple select box, I can't remove my 1st choice without having to remove my 2nd choice too. (So, for instance if I choose Polar Bear and also choose Brown Bear, I try to move my cursor between them in order to Backspace over Polar Bear but I can't. I have to Backspace over Brown Bear + Polar Bear in order to delete Polar Bear.) It would be nice if, when I used my direction keys, it would highlight the selected items individually and then let me hit Delete or Backspace on my keyboard to delete just that one.
