IE 11 Developer Tools: Inspect CSS :focus

Unfortunately, the Dev Tools are not able to force focus on an element this way yet.

If you inspect the element first and then apply focus, the focus styles won't show up. In that case you'll have to inspect another element first, and then the one you focused.

Here's a demo I just made:
