Many elements do have focus visible, it's worth going through with a fine tooth comb because there are areas where it is missing.

To test this simply Tab through the site - each element should have a box around it if it is a link. To go backwards hit Shift + Tab

Reference: Focus Visible: Understanding SC 2.4.7 2.4.7 Any keyboard operable user interface has a mode of operation where the keyboard focus indicator is visible. (Level AA)

A couple of screenshots attached to demonstrate

Re-opening this since there are quite a few links that are not buttons that don't have a focus style. This makes using the keyboard to navigate a page more difficult.

We have a rule for this but it doesn't work in Firefox and possibly also in other browsers.

This feature MUST be made optional or at least adjustable by the admin user!

It created a white border around every focused link, and every focused button which is way to strong in my theme which has medium to dark green buttons and links!

I do not see the purpose in validating to a user what they already know they have done! The page changes and that should be their validation!

Nothing wrong with a subtle color change or box shadow on hover, but this is over the top!

Please make this code reversible or at least changeable in the Theme Settings Page!

Or provide the file and location where we can at least modify the border color in a more consistent theme style!

Thank you!
