Hello! I would like to modify st.text_input forcing a widget rerun for every new letter written by the user (instead of a rerun trigger by hitting enter). Does anyone have an idea how to this?

Hi @magnesyljuasen , Thanks for posting! Do you mean that you would want the app to rerun every time someone puts a new letter in the input box? Can you share the use case? That might help us make more helpful suggestions Caroline :balloon:

There is the streamlit-keyup component described in this thread: [image] New Component: streamlit-keyup, a textbox that returns the text as you type Custom Components Example app: https://key-up.streamlitapp.com/ Hopefully a few people find this useful. :link: Link…

Wow great! That’s exactly what i was looking for.

@magnesyljuasen - I’m curious. What is the use case? What will your app do on every key stroke?

The use case is to make an address autocomplete widget:) For every key stroke, the app does an API call for adresses in Norway using the st_keyup return value. St.selectbox and st.multiselect were unable to do this due to the list of adresses being very long…
