            Bug ID: 227215
           Summary: Web Inspector: Styles: Autocomplete list should appear
                    when pressing Arrow Down
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Inspector
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: rcaliman at apple.com

A common UI pattern is for a hidden list of suggestions for an input field to appear when pressing the Arrow Down key.

In the Styles panel, this is replaced by the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Space ...:

`/Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/SpreadsheetTextField.js:293`

```
        if (this._controlSpaceKeyboardShortcut.matchesEvent(event)) {
            event.stop();
            if (this._suggestionsView.visible)
                this._suggestionsView.hide();
            else {
                const forceCompletions = true;
                this._updateCompletions(forceCompletions);
            }
            return;
        }
```


... likely because it interacts with the behavior of incrementing/decrementing numeric values when holding Arrow Up/Down. See bug 227214.

---

When the typing caret is not overlapping a numeric value, pressing Arrow Down in an editable text field should present the list of completion suggestions if there are any.
