 text class?) instead of hiding them. That way they will always be
 "visible" for screen readers. Then we can negate `screen-reader-text` on
 hover and show them same as now.

 and who would benefit from show/hide links. Software like Dragon is not
 sufficiently consistent in being able to action off-screen links, and
 users need to know the links are there in the first place.

 > I know that it would not be a good idea to clutter up the pages any more
 than they are at the moment. So what about providing the always visible
 show/hide links, but make them dependent on a switch in the screen options
 panel. That way people can have the more verbose option if they want it,
 but mouse only users will be none the wiser. As a further option the quick
 links panel could be permanently switched on all the time as well using an
 option like that.


 i like your final idea - a screen option to 'show quick links' that just
 turns them all on. that seems like the simplest option so far, and once
 you toggle that on you can use the quick links everywhere. just showing
 the links seems less confusing than any variation on the show/hide idea. i
 will give that a try.
