Description
I was working on implementing keyboard support for the Range sliders as well. But as previously stated in the issue #131, I encountered some issues when using multiple handles within a Range slider.
Take a look at this:
What I'm doing here is moving the handle, with the mouse, across the other handle. The tooltip is being rendered correctly, but unfortunately the "focus" is left on the wrong handle. Or, the wrong handle is being moved. For mouse control this isn't much big of a deal, but for keyboard control its really not that great.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the multiple-handle Range slider behavior shown in the issue, using mouse movement to cross one handle and then keyboard input. Trace the range slider's focus and keyboard handling; done means focus and subsequent keyboard movement remain on the handle that was moved across the other.
