It looks like Jörn's already modified the source code so you can change the default event.keyCode mappings. However, I noticed in your mod, the up/down keys still moved the highlighted option and the tab key emulated the down key. Perhaps the mappings need to allow for multiple keys. On a personal note though, the "Autocomplete" functionality built in to Firefox and IE works the same way as the default behavior--and that's pressing the [TAB] key in the drop down selects the items and moves to the next field. So, my personal opinion is that will be the "expected" behavior. -Dan
