How to enable character input on Dropdown component?

[VidovicSinisa]

I have a dropdown component which holds a list of countries that user can select. As far as I can tell dropdown by default only supports up and down arrow key inputs. I would like to be able to press 'c' character and have the dropdown jump to 'Canada' for example.

Is there a way to do this out of the box or will I have to create some kind of directive for this?

Working in Angular btw.
