One possible aspect for improvement: the way the input field for Index

You get rid of it by pressing Escape.
Yes - using Escape to close a popup or similar is pretty standard.
Maybe there should be another way in case the user doesn't realise this.
A Close button might make sense.
There is a minor misfeature in that if you've started typing you
have to type Escape twice (the first removes the drop-down and the
second closes the input area). This is similar to how you sometimes
have to Enter twice if you use the arrow keys to navigate the
drop-down menu.
Fixing these might require doing more custom JavaScript to implement
the input fields. Not a priority or blocker, I think.
