Description

We are hiding stack traces of errors by default. They can be expanded with click.

Example not expanded:

The expand functionality is triggered by a mouse click, which toggles the selection status of a hidden input element.

This is currently not accessible from the keyboard. I tried, but I don't know how to make it accessible. Help?

Contributor guide
