[tree view] Add prop to disable type-ahead focusing #14985
Description
Expected Behaviour
<SimpleTreeView disableTypeAheadFocusing>
<TreeItem
itemId={id}
label={label}
/>
</SimpleTreeView>Temporary Workaround
This simple workaround works, but it also disables more useful keyboard navigation like the arrow keys.
<SimpleTreeView onKeyDownCapture={(e) => e.stopPropagation()}>
<TreeItem
itemId={id}
label={label}
/>
</SimpleTreeView>Search keywords: type ahead, focusing, single character

Hi
Thanks for your issue.
You can use
event.defaultMuiPrevented = trueto only prevent the MUI logic without totally stopping the propagation.The following example should keep all the other keyboard interactions.
I'm keeping this issue with "Waiting for upvote" for a built-in support.
And I will fire a pull request to make
MuiCancellableEventHandlerwhich I uses in this example public 👍ohmsl commentedon Oct 16, 2024

This did not gain a lot of interest in the last 2 years, so I will close this as not planned. There is a workaround available though so you can use that for your use case.
