Description
There's is currently no way to opt-out of the "form assistant bar"
As you see in below screenshot, it takes a lot of space, so the editable surface becomes smaller. We'd like to be able to opt-out of this toolbar, and render our own "Hide keyboard" tool.
@whsieh what do you think?

Research direction
Start by reading this issue alongside the linked WebKit bug 319762 to understand the iOS Safari form assistant bar and the requested opt-out behavior. Identify the relevant editing spec or explainer entry point, then define what an opt-out and custom hide-keyboard control must mean; done when that behavior is specified clearly and its platform constraints are addressed.
