Description

I haven't found ANY documentation about how to make keyboard navigation work.
From the docs, it seems that it works with every single dropdown, but when I try the simplest example of this libray from the website, it's just not working. Clicking the dropdown to open the menu, but then and keyboard buttons do not select anything in the list.

Can someone help me pls?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the problem in the simplest example from the react-select website, using the open dropdown and the up/down keys. Check whether keyboard navigation selects an option and compare the behavior with the documentation's claims. Done means the example responds correctly to keyboard navigation and the relevant usage guidance is clear.
