I cannot seem to find documentation on a keyboard shortcut for autocomplete. 
This feature should exist if it does not.  I believe the behavior in windows is
the ability to tab through the options, but this behavior is not present in
Linux.  If there is a keyboard shortcut, it is not in the documentation.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter data in a form and submit.
2. Go back to the page and enter the data again.
3. There is no shortcut available to autocomplete from the keyboard



Expected Results:  
Either tab or some other shortcut should allow autocompletion or selection from
the list or this needs to be added to the documentation of keyboard shortcuts.

Pressing Down should open the dropdown and cycle through the categories.
