setSelectionRange not available on email (& number inputs) #336

Currently one cannot arrow through and hit return on an item when the input is an input type email because of this line.

setSelectionRange is only supported for text, search, url, tel, password (cmd-f -> setSelectionRange) 😢

A couple thoughts on possible options:

Try / catch that line and dont allow selection if it fails
Add a prop to disable selection on keyboard accept
