<paper-listbox>
<paper-listbox>
implements an accessible listbox control with Material Design styling. The focused item is highlighted, and the selected item has bolded text.
<paper-listbox>
<paper-item>Item 1</paper-item>
<paper-item>Item 2</paper-item>
</paper-listbox>
An initial selection can be specified with the selected
attribute.
<paper-listbox selected="0">
<paper-item>Item 1</paper-item>
<paper-item>Item 2</paper-item>
</paper-listbox>
Make a multi-select listbox with the multi
attribute. Items in a multi-select listbox can be deselected, and multiple item can be selected.
<paper-listbox multi>
<paper-item>Item 1</paper-item>
<paper-item>Item 2</paper-item>
</paper-listbox>
Styling
The following custom properties and mixins are available for styling:

Accessibility
<paper-listbox>
has role="listbox"
by default. A multi-select listbox will also have aria-multiselectable
set. It implements key bindings to navigate through the listbox with the up and down arrow keys, esc to exit the listbox, and enter to activate a listbox item. Typing the first letter of a listbox item will also focus it.
