Type Ahead not enabled for web?
I noticed that the suggestions feature for the TextFieldBloc is purposely disabled for the web. Is there a reason for this? I've used the TypeAhead widget elsewhere and it appears to work fine on the web.
Yeah, missing this feature as well.
Just submitted this https://github.com/IsaiasSantana/keyboard_utils/pull/21 and everything seems to work after that.
https://github.com/IsaiasSantana/keyboard_utils/pull/21 is merged, so if we depend on
keyboard_utils: ^1.2.3 the below works as well:

Hello, the plugin was disabled for web since when I implemented it, it had several crucial errors, and I had to fix them in the mobile implementation, so to enable web support I would have to fix several things that is not the idea of this package, since that I would have to support that plugin.
I have not been able to review its latest version, but it still has several relevant issues.
If you find an alternative plugin we could easily integrate it :)
@GiancarloCode can you be more specific about those critical issues?
After the keyboard_utils fix all seem to work just fine.
@ayushin I know that flutter_typeahead is still buggy on the web. There is a problem where the pointer is offset of the list. There is a workaround, but it doesn't work out of the box. See the workaround here This workaround could be included to make it work on the web.
@RedTech64 is flutter_typeahead still buggy on web? it seem to be working just fine for us without any workarounds for quite a some time now. @GiancarloCode Can we use flutter_typeahead regardless of the platform?
@ayushin I've still been using a workaround to get it to display correctly. But I agree it would be great to be able to enable it on the web by default.
I was thinking an optional bool to the TextFieldBlocBuilder something like alwaysUseTypeAheadField which would be false by default to stay backwards compatible?
