I love the concept of downshift and having total control over rendering. Do you have an example where the user can type in something that’s not part of the suggestions list? In my testing with downshift so far, whenever I type something that’s not in the list and then blur the input, it either empties out or goes to a list item that I had selected before. In my use case I need the user to be able to submit anything, even if it’s not in the suggestions list. I think the answer might lie in the control props, but I haven’t been able to figure out the right logic for it yet.
