Bug Description

If you go to the plugins admin page, and then start using the TAB key to move thru items on the page, when the focus gets to one of the show/hide bars, it does not make any noticeable change to let you know that you are on it.

When you hover over the show/hide bar, it changes color and then when you move the mouse away from it, the color changes back. This same color change should take effect when it receives the focus using tab key, and when the color should change back when it blurs.

I believe this is a css issue and has something to do with the 'hover' class, but am not exactly sure how to fix it.

This is a difficult one, tabs are treated differently then mouse hovers. I dont know if we will be able to do anything about it yet.

I played around with every conceivable CSS option I could think of, and could not get it to work in Firefox or Chrome, so yes, this is a tough one!

Tabs are handled by the browser, and it doesn't know you want tabs to be highlighted since there are not controls. The only solution would be that the page overrides keyboard handling and I don't think it's a good option considering the consequences.

Sorry I mean "Keys are handled by the browser"
