[Bug]: "Firing" Mention dropdown without triggering character on focus

Which packages did you experience the bug in?

extension-mention

What Tiptap version are you using?

2.3.0

What’s the bug you are facing?

Not sure if it is a bug or not, or maybe I was expecting something else and this would be a new feature that cannot be hacked currently:

I am using the Mention extension, it works perfectly but I want it to show the suggestion dropdown without any starting character (like @) and also initially (so when I am focusing on an empty node).

I thought that setting the char property of suggestion to an empty string helps, but it is only partially a solution. Now, when I start to type, the dropdown appears after the first character, but when focusing on an empty node (=new line), nothing is shown (like the unfiltered list) (the onUpdate or the onKeyDown methods are not called, of course).

Is this an issue, or would this be a new feature?
Is there any "hack" to achieve this behaviour?

What browser are you using?
