AutoComplete: Space key prevents typing spaces in input field

[MildConcussion]

Bug Description

The Space key is currently mapped to trigger onEnterKey in the AutoComplete component, preventing users from typing spaces in the input field.

Current Behavior

• Pressing Space triggers selection behavior (onEnterKey)
• Unable to type spaces in the AutoComplete input field

Expected Behavior

• Space key should allow typing spaces in the input field
• Only Shift+Space should trigger selection behavior (for range selection)

1. Use an AutoComplete component
2. Try to type a sentence with spaces
3. Observe that spaces cannot be typed

Environment

• PrimeVue version: 4.3.0-rc.1
• Browser: Chromium, MacOS

@J-Michalek Could you take a look please? It doesn't seem like intended behavior.

Perhaps something like

case 'Space':
    if (event.shiftKey) {
        this.onEnterKey(event);
    }
    break;

or

onSpaceKey(event) {
    if (this.focusedOptionIndex !== -1) {
        this.onEnterKey(event);
    }
},

@MildConcussion Hello, thanks for looking into this, definitely not intended.

I will try to have a look next week.

Perhaps you could take a look into this and submit a PR if you feel like it.
