           Summary: [Gtk] Tooltips should be fully keyboard accessible
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: joanmarie.diggs at gmail.com

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load the test case
(https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=29966&action=view)

2. Hover the mouse over the "Phone number" link. This will cause the tooltip
associated with that link to appear. Leave the mouse pointer there.

3. Press Tab until focus is on the Submit button.

4. Press Ctrl+F1 (the traditional Gtk app command to show/hide the tooltip
associated with the focused item).

Expected results: The tooltip associated with the Submit button would be
displayed -- and ideally displayed near the Submit button.

Actual results: The tooltip associated with the "Phone number" link is
displayed -- and, at least on my system, displayed at the bottom of the window.

Comments: The reason for wanting Ctrl+F1 to toggle the visibility of the
tooltip associated with the focused object is so that users who prefer to (or
need to) use the keyboard instead of the mouse can access the title attribute
information.

The reason for wanting it displayed in the vicinity of the focused object is
for users with low vision who currently have to do additional visual work to
locate the desired information.
