Google Places Autocomplete Event tab press

Question

I have tried a lot of combinations but seems place_changed works only with enter press.

   var input = document.getElementById('address_guest');
   var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input); 

   google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, 'place_changed', function(){  
                 //Code here
   }

Everything works fine if user 1) select any result from google places autocomplete dropdown list. and 2) when typing into autocomplete textbox press enter than I did some code about result suggestions. I want the same thing like pressing enter in ... addListener to happen with something like onblur() or onchange() or any alternative with on click or tab press...

Thank you

I've only been able to get 'tab' to work. I have a button next to my autocomplete control that receives focus when I press tab. I added a 'setFocus' event on that control which in turn fires the autocomplete 'place_changed' event. It's not the most elegant solution but it works for 'tab'.
