TouchSelectionControllerClientAura::EnvPreTargetHandler is relevant: it
listens to key, mouse and scroll events, and hides the insertion handle
as soon as one of those events is registered.
ui::EventTarget is not used in oxide though, so we’d need to monitor
input events at a different level.

Title:
hide selection handle when start typing
Status in Canonical System Image:
Confirmed
Status in Oxide:
Confirmed
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
we are showing the selection handle (in addition to the cursor)
whenever entering a text field that already has text in it. For
example, if you are replying to a Gmail message, you have an annoying
blue selection handle blinking where you are trying to type and you
can't turn it off. Or on a form, focusing on a field to append text
will also show the selection handle. Or a multi line text area, adding
a new line and typing at the beginning.
Tested Chrome on Android and it behaves differently, and think we should do
similar:
1. Show the selection handle initially, but have it disappear when you press
any key (space, character, etc.)
2. Tapping anywhere in the field will cause handle to be shown again
3. Also, can we put the selection handle on the bottom of the cursor instead
of the top? This is the behavior on Chrome for Android and the rest of our
non-html platform in Ubuntu touch.
