What is the purpose of the second input field with class tt-hint?

Hello Simon,

A second input field (read-only) is used to display a hint within the original input field. For example, head to https://typeahead.digitalfortress.tech/, and try typing "g" in the first input box that you see. As soon as you do that, you should see 3 suggestions and within the input field, you will also see the letters old which are a bit greyed out, like a placeholder. This placeholder value comes from the second input field with class tt-hint. If you hit the Tab key, it autocompletes your input with the hint value. Using this hint is optional and you can disable it

typeahead({
    input: ...,
    source: {
      ...
    },
    hint: false,   // disables the 2nd input field
});

Hope that answers your question.

Good day!
