Research direction

Reproduce the tags input on Chrome mobile and verify that pressing space does not create a tag until the input loses focus. Inspect the component's keyboard and space-handling path; done means space creates the tag immediately while keeping the input focused for the next tag.

Description

I have implemented this tags input but when using it on chrome mobile it does not create tags on space. You have to blur the input to create the tag and then focus again to type new one.
