For context, adding a summary of the answer I gave on a11yslackers... tl;dr: just use :focus-visible noting that 2.4.7 talks about there being a "mode of operation" where the focus is visible. under this aspect, it's fine to say that focus is only visible when using keyboard/keyboard-like input of course, if you can have a very prominent visible focus indication at all times, regardless of whether activated/achieved by mouse/touch/etc or keyboard, then go for it. from a compliance with WCAG point of view though, it's fine using :focus-visible for instance if it's an immediate-action type control, i'd say it's good not to have visible focus indication as result of mouse/touch activation. for form fields etc, you'd likely want to have focus indication regardless. i.e. what :focus-visible does P -- Patrick H.
