Idea: CanvasInput for Phaser 3

[robinheidrich]

It would be very helpful if you could use a text input in Phaser without using DOM.

There is an example how to use CanvasInput in Phaser 2, but in Phaser 3 it doesn't work anymore.

The idea: add a plugin to enable CanvasInput support in Phaser 3 (or maybe even make it a custom plugin).

And maybe make it usable for WebGL as well.

There has a similar one, named Hidden edit.

Text edit looks interesting, just a pity that it doesn't change the mouse pointer when hovering to show that this is also an input.

I will give it a try.

Mouse pointer changing might set at text game object. Text Edit starts when clicking text game object.
