#21334: Accessibility of Quick Edit panel in Posts/Pages/etc

 Two issues here:

 1) When someone using mouse hovers over a page/post row in main
 Pages/Posts screen - the 'quick links' appear. However these links will
 never appear when a user is tabbing around the screens - perhaps a blind
 user with screen reader or someone who is unable to use a mouse.

 Please can the 'quick links' panel be opened when someone tabs to the
 page/post title and stay open so that they can then tab into the links
 provided.

 2) Using Quick Edit.

 When the Quick Edit panel is open the input fields in there are all nicely
 accessible except for the date and time grouping. These input fields have
 a tabindex value set (unlike the surrounding input fields) which removes
 them far from the natural sensible tab order within this panel. Suggest
 the tabindex values are removed.

 Also, none of the date and time input fields have labels so their meaning
 is unclear - certainly to blind users but also potentially to people with
 cognitive impairments too. Please can this be rectified.

 Thanks
