Unlike with a physical keyboard a mobile or touch device has multiple different keyboards. This PR ensures that joomla uses the correct mobile keyboard which greatly increases usability on mobile/touch. Although support is not 100% on desktop touchscreen browsers it is really mainly for devices with no physical keyboards
This PR adds an attribute as appropriate inputmode="xxxxxx" for the field types url, tel, number and email.
This can be tested on any mobile/touch device.
Android screenshots below. iOS is a little different with some extra keys
Url (/) key
Email (@) key
Number
Tel (not used in core)

I would suggest to add this to the JFormField XML specification.
Why? This is a layout change - nothing to do with the XML
Not for the default but override able, for example you have a search field and would like to create a JFormInput and set the inputmode to "search".
In that example I would add the inputmode to the text field in the search module. This PR is only for the field input types url, tel, number and email anything else is completely beyond the scope. I can't think of any scenario where you would want to disable/change/override these 4 inputmodes.
number could be decimal for example, tel could be a voip number (with enum which looks like a hostname)... there are cases maybe not today but having this feature in core wouldn't be an error.
Feel free to submit it as a new feature the. It's not something I am remotely interested in doing. All your use case example are already addressed.

This makes sense to me as it is. I agree with you though @HLeithner making it dynamic for at least the text field would also seem sensible
Thanks
