q-select : showPopup() closes the popup if already open — how to open on focus without click?

[StanislasJEANGEY]

I'm trying to automatically open the q-select popup when the field receives focus via keyboard (Tab), without affecting the behavior when the user clicks on it.

My approach is to call showPopup() in the @focus handler. The problem is that showPopup() toggles the popup — if it's already open, it closes it.

This causes an issue when the user clicks the field: the click opens the popup natively, then @focus fires and showPopup() immediately closes it.

I tried guarding with @popup-show / @popup-hide to know whether the popup is already open before calling showPopup(), but these events fire after @focus, even with nextTick(), so the state is never up to date in time.

EDIT : It seems that it isn't showPopup() that closes the popup, but rather that it closes via the click event after being opened by showPopup()

Is there a way to:

• either call showPopup() only when the popup is not already open?
• or detect whether focus came from keyboard vs mouse before calling showPopup()?

Any built-in prop or API on q-select that handles this use case?
