Instead of blocking further selection unselect previoulsy selected item

[AntonFetzer]

In my new website, I make extensive use of this very useful multi select script.
But I have several selectors, where you can only have one selected option at a time.
When I deployed my new website, the feedback I got most often was, that it is inconvenient to have to manually unselect the previously selected item, in order change the selection to another one.
Would it be possible to have an option for this case, where the previously selected item is simply replaced by the newly selected item?
But anyway, thanks for providing this very useful feature set!

It sounds like you want a regular suggestion box, rather than this one which is specifically for multiple items. I'm not working on this any more, but feel free to make a PR!

No, I do not want a suggestion box.
I really like the design of your drop-down menus, but sometimes it does not make sense to have more than one selected object at a time.
I and several of my users would appreciate it, if clicking on another object in the dropdown would automatically unselect the previously selected item and select the clicked item.
It would make the workflow even smoother, if the drop-down would open automatically, if you just point the mouse on it without having to click every time to do that.

Also, what is a PR ?

[bentorfs]

a Pull Request. You can write the code for this feature yourself and contribute it. I understand your need, but I have no time to do it myself.

Ok, I managed to modify your code, but I still do not understand how Git works.
So this is the code, which contains the features I described above:
