Group countries for the location-based lock/key

We are facing a situation where we would've liked to create a lock for the visitors from the EU. However, current Locksmith key design only allows to pick 1 country at a time. That's 27 separate countries in this case.
It would be very helpful to have premade groups by major continents and parts of the world, at least the ones with many countries. Examples: Europe (or the EU specifically), South America, Africa, etc While at it, might as well add North America with its 3 but don't even bother with the continent of Australia, I got that one : )
Additionally, it probably should not take more than 6 characters to come up with "Germany" in the list. Perhaps the search should be weighted to bring up the most populous matches after 2-4 characters.
Also, after entering the selection, it is currently necessary to manually clear the keyword entry field before entering another. Maybe clear automatically to speed things up.
Finally, not sure what database this key is using but thank you for including "German - East Java, Indonesia" and lots of other locations with 0 population : )))
Thanks for considering it all, love Locksmith and its great team!

I've just released an update to Locksmith that includes, I believe, all features in this request.
- results sorted by population
- results with less than 10 population filtered out
- Continents (including "europe") were already a thing you could search for, but European Union can now be searched for as well (search for "eu" or "european union")
just a note, although the results are now sorted by population, you will still have to type most of the country you are searching for (e.g. "germany"). we don't have direct control over how geonames.org interprets search queries.
Thanks for taking the time to write all of this down, it's super helpful to us knowing the merchant experience here!
