Feature Description

Right now the datepicker shows only up on clicking the toggle button (or implementing some own logic). I'd love the picker to always show up if the bound control is focused.

I've tried to achieve this using a custom directive, but there are so many caveats. I'd like the focus to stay in the input and tabbing away to close it. But using the blur event doesn't work since selecting a date blurs the control, too.

Use Case

I want to make users aware of the possibility to just pick a date while keeping the comfort of filling a form by keyboard / tab only.
