[MIK-15] Pressing any key should focus the chat UI and type into it

Great to hear that progress is being made. If you want accountability, post daily updates here
Surprisingly more difficult than first expected, accounting for things like:
- different locales (CJKV text)
- Copy/paste
- Special inputs, like backspace
still, very much doable
Putting this on hold for a while until the rest of the UX is figured out: A potential bug has been discovered.
e.g. What would happen if the user is typing in another text area (for example, a search bar) but it gets hijacked back into the message input?
What if you catch keyup events on a root element and return false to prevent events from bubbling up on all text input elements?
as a compromise, you can .focus() the chat bar on the first load, and when new channels are selected
autofocus has been enabled, I will figure out a better heuristic in coming day - feel free to keep this one open
