Links have no :focus style, so if you're using the tab key to cycle through them, you can't see which link you're on.

I've never submitted a patch before, but I think this modest issue might be within my abilities... so I'll give it a go...

Here it is then: my first ever patch. Hope it's OK. It should just add a:focus on line 15 of omega/css/omega-text.css as follows:

a:active, a:focus {
  color: #202124;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #000;
}

Actually, after further thought, I'm not sure I agree with my solution above. I think the problem is caused by the reset CSS files setting 'outline: 0'. This turns off the browser's highlighting of tab-focused links.

Should I roll a patch where the setting of the outline property is done a bit more selectively?

Just to update - I'm not going to be able to do any more on this, as I've moved away from using Omega for the time being.

This will be fixed with the move away from the reset.css
