Hi,
in wxgui when looking to display a raster layer, “down arrow” works, but it is too slow to go through 1000s of maps.
Maybe “Page down” could be set up to scroll faster.

when you start typing the name, it should change automatically
selection in drop-down widget.

I am wrong, it's not working like that. AFAIR it was working some time
ago. No idea what was changed that it's not working with the recent
version...

this widget is very problematic because it does not behave the same across platforms and has problems with focus. I did some experiments on Ubuntu and I realized it behaves differently even with and without the special Ubuntu scrollbars. So if you switch off the special scrollbars with
export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0
and then you are able to use PageDown/Up automatically without any code changes, however my arrows then have no effect on the selection of the maps.
If you switch on the scrollbars again (export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=1) then the arrows start to work and the PageDown is ignored. in this mode I am not able make the popup window scroll with any hack.
But at least, before you open the popup, type a few letters of the beginning of the map name and when you open the popup, the first matching map should be selected. When the popup is open there is no way to type the name (problems with focus).
You can also use the dialog for adding more maps and use regular expressions.
So, I think this widget might behave better in wxPython 3 but I haven’t tested it much.
