As a power-user option we'll add a device blacklist that the user will
be able to populate to ignore certain devices when deciding whether to
show the OSK and/or switch to windowed mode.

Bug description:
  There are mice on the market that claim to be keyboards as well. This
  inhibits OSK. We can try and find out how many keys they have and be
  smart about it.

  Regardless, we should have a way of forcing the OSK, especially on
  touch-enabled devices. Whether it's triggered by a touch (as opposed
  to mouse click) on the text area, or with a button in the text field
  (replaced with the clear icon when you start typing). Another option
  is the copy/paste dropdown.

  ------------
  The on-screen keyboard should appear if:
  * no external keyboard is connected, and a text field becomes focused; or
  * an external keyboard is connected, but the most recent text typed anywhere was with the OSK, and a text field becomes focused; or
  * an external keyboard is connected, and the most recent text typed was with an external keyboard, but you tap in the already-focused text field. (App developers are responsible for emulating this behavior in typable areas that are not text fields.)
  ------------

  == original description ==

  1. Boot nexus 7
  2. In the login screen, test that OSK works by tapping the password textfield
  3. swipe keyboard back down after testing it works
  4. Turn on Bluetooth mouse to get a mouse cursor
  5. Click on password textfield

  OSK doesn't pop up, touch tapping on the field doesn't bring up the
  OSK anymore either.

  ie. The login screen is not usable with mouse connected - cannot type
  in password via OSK since it doesn't come up when clicking the
  password textfield with mouse.

  See attached screenshot. Focus on textfield. Would expect OSK to show
  up.
