Creating this issue to group a few bugs related to focus that we want to address for the alpha:

• Tapping into RichText doesn't move the cursor properly on Android Tapping into RichText doesn't move the cursor properly on Android #135
• Inserting a new block doesn't make cursor immediately available on new block Inserter - cursor not following along focus when inserting a new block #113, Fix isSelected for RichText #270
  I think these two were estimated at 2 weeks
• Tapping into PlainText doesn't allow to select text / copy / paste Tapping into PlainText doesn't allow to select text on Android #267 doesn't apply as we move on using FlatList
