[docs] Explain the hovering-menu example

See original GitHub issue

Can someone please explain the hovering-menu example? I am primarily interested in how a new selection is detected in order to show/hide the menu. I am not seeing any mouse handling code, so wondering what is triggering the updateMenu() function.

Also why does HoveringMenu capture the initialValue in state? Is the state being continuously updated as the user type into the editor?

My goal is to use Material-UI’s Popper component to create the hover-menu. They have a similar example here. I just need to know how to hook it up to Slate.

Thanks in advance.

For anyone coming through who can’t jump into the Slack for any reason, be sure the buttons in your toolbar are bound to onMouseDown rather than onClick and to call preventDefault on the event so that the button itself doesn’t end up grabbing focus.
