Support for customizing return key #17525
Description
iOS has support for changing what the return/done key on the keybaord should be labeled with, see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uireturnkeytype?language=objc.
We should expose this in Flutter. Currently, we only support UIReturnKeyDefault and UIReturnKeyDone, see [1]
We should also cross-check this with what android supports.

It would be great to have an inputAction field in the
TextFieldwidget. It's crucial for chat apps ("send"), search fields ("search") and complex forms ("next").I stumbled upon this issue while porting a login form: The keyboard of the user name input should display a "next" button, which moves the focus to the password input.
Is there a time frame for the addition of this feature? It was mentioned by @goderbauer that a PR is planned.
Here is what Android supports:
IME_ACTION_DONEIME_ACTION_GOIME_ACTION_NEXTIME_ACTION_SEARCHIME_ACTION_SENDIME_ACTION_NONE(newline)https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/EditorInfo
Right now the displayed action is bound to the
keyboardTypeof theTextField.In the Android engine, only a small change in the inputActionFromTextInputAction method is required to support additional actions.
