Feature request: Override control input type

[zeitiger]

Currently the control input is a simple text input.

Sometimes its quite helpful override the input type for touch devices e.g. for input of numeric data is a <input type="tel"> better option for a small smartphone.

This pull request include

• 2 test cases (select and input)
• documentation for a new setting
• 2 new demo cases with input-tag-with-dialpad and select with search country telephone codes

Interesting, I like it. On an <input> tag, shouldn't we mirror the original type by default? Meaning if I selectize an input[type=tel] tag, it should be applied to the control.

Sure is this possible, the problem was that browser like Chrome response to something like that

<input type="number" value="5,23,42,1337"/>

with an error because 5,23,42,1337 is not a number on the HTML level.
So in the most cases it will be the better option to say the source input element is a plain text input and override type of control input within user settings.

I add now the logic take input type from source input as suggestion for type of control input and add some test cases for that.

IMHO I would prefer inputmode attribute, but that isn't supported by any browser at the moment

<input inputmode="tel">
