frivoal has just labeled a pull request from robdodson for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts as "selectors-4": == Add :focusring selector == Adds support for `:focusring`, related discussion here: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2016Mar/0250.html `:focusring` only matches an element if the element is currently focused and a focus ring or other indicator should be drawn for that element. This is extremely useful for accessibility. As @tabatkins explained on the mailing list: > The main benefit of such a thing is that, today, if the default UA focus ring style does not work well with your site's theme, you're kinda screwed. You can manually write a :focus rule, but you can't predict when an element would have a focus ring drawn; you'll unfortunately start drawing focus rings when the user mouse-clicks a button. Using :focus-ring instead does the right thing automatically, triggering your styles only when the UA determines via heuristics that it should draw a focus ring.
