Hi @Sreejith-Websphere, as per our accessibility guidelines, Combobox only receives a tab stop for the input part, the menu is navigated using arrow keys, opening and selection is handled with enter/space, and lastly dismissing or clearing is done using esc.
So the close button would disappear upon clicking esc twice.

Is this what you were looking for?

Hi @alina-jacob, escape twice does clear out the field for us. Thank you!
