Yes for Physics and Calculus it was Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

I just replied just a few minutes ago to your Bach thread saying I'm in the "no music" camp. Music distracts me. I might tolerate music without any singing when I'm coding. But music with actual lyrics is absolutely out of the question.

I like progressive and trance when I code. It helps me stay focused for long periods.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Progressive house, I assume? Progressive rock wouldn't focus me at all: I'd end up listening instead of coding.

It depends, Electronic music of all kind and some 80's rock.
80's rock is reassuring, a known variable in my mental state.
For example today :
Boards Of Canada - The Campfire Headphase
Above & Beyond : Acoustic at the Hollywood Bowl.
Plastikman : Musik
Dubstar : Goodbye.
CI/CD = Continuous Impediment/Continuous Despair

If I am learning... nothing.
If I am "just" working... yes.
Mainly no singing, about the type it might be electronic, it might be epic, it might be chill out, it might be white noise... It depends on the day and the mood.

Interestingly enough, not for coding. But, certain types of music can get me in the zone for working out. Then again, I don't really listen to music when coding as I want to "hear" my mind think. Working out is the exact opposite where music is a necessity.
Keep in mind I didn't click your links, but the mind works in associations with everything. Music may be one catalyst but associations are the root cause. If someone associated eating chocolate cake with coding then that would get them in the zone. So any study that simply looks at music alone is missing the actual picture.
Now, music can be a powerful association of course. A very powerful one, for reasons that would totally derail this chat. But the root is associations so the point I'm stressing here is they need to see the whole picture.

Mainly classical or stuff with no words to distract me. I do like video game soundtracks as they usually have some kind of motivating quality in them.

Ever since I began programming in the 80s I have listened to the Smiths primarily. Today, I had Ramones and the Clash playing as well.

Listening to music helps when I am in the mood. I listen to music 1 hour per day.
But dealing with complex bugs or writing complex code dealing with different libraries or subsystems, I prefer not to listen to music as I need the full concentration.

I typically code without music. If I do listen music there can't be lyrics that are pronounced enough for me to want to listen to them because it gets distracting.
So when I'm creating I tend to stick to jazzy drum and bass electronic music from the 90s and early aughts because it's simultaneously soothing and motivating. If I'm really in the zone already I might put on some breakcore.

It doesn't happen on CP and I'm really glad.
It's a very strange feature that some have implemented (before they even understand how it should be used).

Skip to content
It allows users to bypass the navigation menu and go directly to the main content of a page. These links are useful for users who only use the keyboard or who use a screen reader. This is not a useless feature. They make your website more navigable, particularly for keyboard-only and screen-reader users.

A screen reader already knows the main content, if the web dev properly uses semantics. If they don't, then chances are they won't for this feature.
If you look at the OP mentioning what it takes to trigger this feature, then the user already needs to (in all likelihood) scroll past the main content first, which would negate any usefulness for this from an accessibility perspective for a blind person.
Might help the keyboard user though when tab cycling as space bar or page down won't change the tab focus.

I (could) agree. Except, why is it occurring for me? I don't use a screen-reader or keyboard-only.
I think it _could_ be a useful feature, if used properly.
However, it only causes me to have more keyboard touching and mouse clicking.
Not helpful.

I've never seen that (on GH/GHE at least) using...
Firefox => Ubuntu
Firefox => Windows
Chrome => Windows
Lynx => CP/M (kidding)
Just tried it on Edge on Windows for poops and giggles and nothing. You got some sorta plugin installed?
Jeremy Falcon

No, definitely not a plugin. I hadn't seen this feature ever either and then I started seeing it in Brave. I actually quit using Brave and switched to Edge to get away from this feature.
Alas, I've now seen it in Edge.
Again, it is a weird set of circumstances to make it occur so that's why I'm interested in knowing if others have seen it.
Also, I've checked the Accessibility options on my Ubuntu settings and I don't see anything that would indicate that it should use this Accessibility feature.
