📄 Description

Description

This PR is a rewrite of a PR I opened over a year ago now #4682 . Now that tags have a UI are configurable and all that good stuff, I'm reopening this as I saw some interest in the #project-tags discord channel. I will be posting this there so people can test this.

I spent an immense amount of time trying to use our existing Autocomplete implementation, but Downshift was determined not to let me use it the way I needed to. It was more effort to work around Downshift's limitations than it was to simply create a new one using react-aria-components.

Huge thanks to @Juulz , @youngcw , and PuddleOfFat from Discord for their testing and feedback.

Desktop Implementation

  1. Keyboard-first navigation (ArrowUp, ArrowDown, Home/End)
  2. Tab, Enter, or Mouse click to select
  3. Hidden and does not affect functionality until # is entered

Mobile Implementation

  1. Small screen real estate
  2. Clickable mid-edit
  3. Hidden and does not affect functionality until # is entered
