Autocomplete - automatically highlight first item?
in Using jQuery UI

Hi!
Is there an undocumented option for the jQuery UI Autocomplete widget that would automatically highlight the first item in the list, with the assumption being that if it's the item you want, you can press the tab key to both select it and jump to the next field?
The old jQuery Autocomplete plugin had the 'selectFirst' option which was turned on by default, so I'm curious if there's an easy way to do something similar with the UI version.
Thanks!
