Virtual keyboard is not shown

[dennisguse]

At least on android the virtual keyboard does not open.
To achieve this a textfield must be focused (and clicked).

Could not figure out how to do this (at least not on Android 6.0 with either Chrome or Firefox as of today).

I tried the textfield approach (input text), hiding it (opacity), and letting it always focused.
Added some logic to handle input of complete words and be capable of use predictive features of the virtual keyboard.

Works like charm (see branch virtual_keyboard [1]) except that backspace is not captured by none of the usual event-handlers (onkeypress and onkeydown) capture it.
In fact, the input of the textfield is changed - thus, we would need to figure out how the content of the textfield changed.

This is possible but will be messy, as we would need to figure out how the content was changed and add the modify our content appropriately.

TL;DR
Solving this issue seems to be needing to change the browser behavior.

I don't dared to test other mobile web browser until now.
