fixes #6410
[Bug]: Down arrow key no longer selects category #6410

• Fixes the behavior of the category dropdown when pressing ArrowDown from a null highlightedIndex.
• Added a new prop skipSplit to skip the "Split Transaction" option.
• Includes a demo video showing the functionality in action.

Problem / Motivation:
Before this fix, pressing ArrowDown in the category autocomplete could fail when no item was initially highlighted, and the "Split Transaction" option was selectable even when it shouldn’t be.

Solution:
• Added handling for ArrowDown from a null highlightedIndex to correctly highlight the first selectable item.
• Added a new prop skipSplit to automatically skip the "Split Transaction" option in the dropdown.

Demo:
• See attached video for the updated behavior.

Impact:
• Users can navigate the dropdown with ArrowDown reliably.
• "Split Transaction" is skipped when necessary, avoiding accidental selection.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a configurable option to control skipping of special "split" suggestions during initial keyboard navigation.

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved arrow-key behavior in autocomplete so the first highlighted item is more predictable when special items are present.
    • Made category autocomplete consistently avoid auto-highlighting split items and explicitly set initial highlight behavior.
