That urks me, too. In many web sites that have a state field, you can
at least type the first letter of your state, but you still have to use the
mouse, unless your state is the first one that starts with any given
letter.
When I type "W", "WA" pops up, so I still have to use the mouse to
select "WI". If I try to type "W" then "I", the popup box jumps to "IA".

"W" takes me to "Washington", but if I then type "I" it takes me down
to "International". I can avoid using my mouse if I type "W" and then
down arrow twice, to get past West Virginia.

FWIW for this apparently errant thread, just hit "W" two more times.
That is, those select-a-state boxes will usually cycle through
all of the listed choices that begin with a selected letter by
repeatedly pressing that letter (on a real keyboard, probably not
on a smartphone virtual one).
