Our users tend to use muscle memory to pick from the view, this means it's common for things like:

1. type, DOWN, ENTER
2. type, mousemove, click

These actions usually happen before the matches arrived, that means we should:

a. Buffer those events and handle them once matches arrived
b. Never replace a match if it's being mouseover-ed (or we could suprise the user by changing the expected destination.

For these we need a bufferer and some smart events management.

I'll start looking at this, let's see how far I can go with the current status.
