Bootstrap selectpicker focus event

Question

I am currently using the bootstrap plugin "selectpicker", ant I am showing a searchbar using : data-live-search="true"

I am facing a little problem with this. When I navigate the form using "tab", and I arrive to my selectpicker field, two things can happen:

• I can press the down arrow, and then the searchbar will be focused, this is what I want.
• If I start to type letters instead of the down arrow, it will not focus the field, which is quite bad for user experience.

I thought to focus the searchbar as soon as the selectpicker field is focused, but I don't know how to create a focus event on a selectpicker...

Any idea?

Thanks!

I had the same problem, and the event "show.bs.select" (from the selectpicker plugin spec) were the solution eventually, hope it be usefull to you as well..
