Simulate hover as well as focus. #154

Closed duhrer closed 9 months ago

Currently, when navigating between elements, we blur the previous element and focus on the new element. For tooltips and the like, it might be better to also simulate a hover. Unlike focus, there is no explicit method to hover over an element.

We might be able to simulate this by sending a mouseenter event before focus, and a mouseleave event before blur.

We should test this with an element that has a tooltip on hover out in the wild using the developer console first.

This might make sense to tackle either right before or right after #139 (simulated mouse), as we will need to simulate a range of mouse events, including hover. It might also be helpful with regard to #124.

In recent manual testing, it really does seem like tooltips work as they would for a keyboard without muddying the waters and act like both a mouse and keyboard. I think we should close this one unless we have a more specific example of why it's needed.
