Description Matthias Clasen 2011-05-06 13:35:30 UTC 
Windows does this, and it would reduce visual clutter.
Exact implementation needs some research, but basic idea is to turn on focus rectangles when a keypress happens, and hide them again after a while.
This would be a setting that can be turned off, like auto-mnemonics.
