Configure autocomplete to be able to use Tab/Enter keys to accept answer?

Good Morning,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to use the Tab or Enter key (rather than the mouse) to accept an answer in an autocomplete field? Is that something that can be configured? We are using Survey123 to enter hundreds of records, so the ability to key in each field without switching back and forth to the mouse saves considerable time. Currently users can type in an answer, with autocomplete narrowing the choices as they go, but when the choices narrow to just one answer, using tab does NOT fill in the remaining letters in the choice the way autocomplete works in programs like Word and Excel. They must switch to the mouse and select the answer.

Even if they type in the full answer, which matches the choice in the list exactly, they can't use Tab or Enter to accept that choice. They still have to switch from keyboard to mouse to select the answer, then back to the keyboard for the next field. 

I'm using a Survey123 Connect form built on template v3.22. I have a select_one field that references a list of about 20 choices and uses the minimal autocomplete appearance. The choice list ensures that answers are constrained to a specific list for QAQC.

Any guidance is appreciated!
