Description
For accessibility purposes any toggle function should also utilize visibility: hidden and visibility: visible for maximum compatibility with a wide range of screen readers for the disabled.

Agree with timmywil here, it's too disruptive for us to change jQuery's behavior of show/hide. Instead you could implement your own small plugins that change all related css and use those instead. Or better still, use classes along with addClass/removeClass since that will allow you to attach CSS transitions as well.

What about an alternate toggle function such that you have with Width, outerWidth etc?
This is a common bit of accessibility which I feel shouldn't be something that has to be custom coded in every case.
This would cause a lot of unexpected behavior for our users. I suggest using the
.css()method to set visibility instead.
