JQuery UI Autocomplete, not selecting a value on enter if mouseover - jquery-ui

I have a problem with JQuery UI Autocomplete.
I want it to behave like this:
If I have positioned my mouse right under the input and entering values, so the autocomplete appears and press enter, the script will select the value from the autocomplete list. I'd rather want the script to just close and select the user entered value.
In short form: I want autocomplete just to replace the input text if a user actually clicks on a suggestion.
Is this possible somehow?
Best Regards

You can play with the select event:
select : function(event, selectedObject) {
jQuery(this).val(selectedObject.item.value);
}

I am using jQuery-ui autocomplete, and I am tyring to handle the event that is fired each time the user moves up and down through the list of results by using the up and down keyboard arrow keys (not when using mouse).

Update values set in autocomplete dynamically created textbox

I need ideas to handle the mouse click selection and the hand written text in an autocomplete textbox to be saved through a controller in JQuery.
Im clear with the saving part, the issue im facing isthat when I select (click) on any option in the autocomplete box, the onblur is called and it only takes the first word ive typed and tries saving it to the database.
Whereasif i comment out the select event in autocomplete and only handle onblur of the textbox, the handwritten value is saved and the clicked value from the autocomplete isnt saved.
Any ideas ?

How to create Combobox with multiselect capability?

How to create a Combobox having Multiselect Capability using Jquery?
Does JQuery Combobox has this functionality or Property?
if it helps, take a look http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/ for multi select values
Edited : I found one more link it's really great http://tameraydin.github.io/jquery-easyselect/
Combobox displays the selected value when its list of options is collapsed. You may want to use multiple selection list.
to use multiple select in combobox you will have to create your own user control using checked listbox, textbox and a button.
and on click of button just make checked list box visible and let the user select items from that checkedListBox and as user select items on it you take those values and concatenate it in textbox with comma seperated. and then again on click on button hide that list box.

which is asking for select technology
