Add option changing TAB-key behaviour: Focus on the next tabindex, instead of selecting the top-suggestion

[NoDark]

• The default behaviour of the TAB-key in twitter/typeahead.js is to select the top suggestion
• We introduced a new option called 'tabAutocomplete' which is NOT mandatory and defaults to true.
• If the option 'tabAutocomplete' is true, the TAB-key will select the top suggestion as usual in twitter/typeahead.js
• If the option 'tabAutocomplete' is NOT set, the TAB-key will select the top suggestion as usual in twitter/typeahead.js
• Only if you set the option 'tabAutocomplete' to false pressing the TAB key will change the focus on the html-element with the next tabindex.
• Added two methods for tabAutocomplete = true resp. false to test typeahead_spec.js

I want this.

Ditto. I currently have bloodhound returning an object of the form {"label":"some label", "value" : "some value"}. On tab (with the intention of focusing on the next input it writes the whole damn object to input.

I've got an onselect function with sets the input value to "label", and sets value as a data attribute. But that logic is thrown away with this tab. Turning off tab autocomplete would help!

I also need this functionality. I have multiple input elements on a form, and am using a tab pattern that only makes selection menus available (but does not select an element). Tabbing, in my particular use case, should move off the typeahead input and to the next element in the form (without selecting anything).

This makes a dataset based on the current input query be the first option that is "auto" selected.

Same here. In my app, the use of Tab makes it convenient to navigate around, therefore, it is used more (as opposed to clicking around). But when you get to the dropdown, the first option is automatically selected so you have to remove that first then select the one you want. It would be great if you can either use Tab to go down the list or to just get out of it.

I'm seeing that the cla is not signed yet by @NoDark , or just someone with write access can merge it?

Thanks @NoDark I made the modifications myself and this is exactly what I needed!
