Description

Happy to see Select2 alive :)

I'm the author of Dueuno (https://dueuno.com), an Open Source framework built on top of Apache Grails we use to build business applications. We have been using Select2 for some time now and we are required to implement keyboard navigation on the applications we develop with the framewrok.

I've tryied to fix the below issue with no luck:
- Pressing SHIFT + TAB does not move the focus to the previous control.

We are using the Bootstrap template, in case it makes any difference.
Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Gianluca

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Reproduce the keyboard-navigation behavior with Select2 using the Bootstrap template, then trace the handling of Shift+Tab. Done means pressing Shift+Tab from the Select2 control moves focus to the preceding control, with coverage for the corrected behavior.
