show buttons only on mouse over

What about to hide Login Password Details button and show them only on mouse over? This will make the list cleaner, and make it narrower (buttons can be shown over the text).

We can't do this on mouseover, because we need to be able to navigate that screen using only a keyboard, but we could do it on focus.

@maximbaz - what do you think?

Mmm not sure, I guess we could try and see how it looks, so far I'm not very convinced, I can see the desire to "cleanup" the view but on the other hand when you move a mouse or keyboard cursor and layout keeps jumping and changing all the time, it can also be distracting and annoying 🙂

If we were to try this I'd still avoid showing buttons on top of the entries, I'd keep the exact same layout but hide the buttons, but this means we won't necessarily make the layout narrower.

I see no contradiction here: mouseover is just another way to give a focus, and buttons should be shown for only focused row.
