Hey all,

We are looking to deploy some menu systems to iPads. One of the interactable menu entries is a drop down with a meager 3 selections - definitely not enough to require using a keyboard to search through the options.

Is there a way to disable the “auto-popup” of the iPad’s onscreen keyboard when interacting with this dropdown? I haven’t had much luck in finding search results that are interested in _disabling_, rather than _enabling_ the keyboard.

Thanks in advance!

Set `Dropdown.props.search.enabled` to `false`. The keyboard is likely only appearing because it is registering the searchable input of the Dropdown.
