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?

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.

It's all relative.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

CP Editors should include a "groan" emoji for response to these type of messages.

There are "roll eyes" and "not amused" emojis, which I've seen some people use for that kind of reaction.

I must've missed that one. Or has that been Grumpy Cat all along?

There's also an "angry" emoji, which I recall seeing a few times in response to a joke.
And I think someone asked for a "coat" emoji after I'd cut and pasted one as a reply.

I prefer the Rolleyes in the funny version. (Like whitsling and rolling eyes with an "nothing to see here" or "was I that?")

I just came back to my computer expecting to find: an Arduino IDE session, six Excel spreadsheets, various web pages pointing to the local Python web server that was running in a VS Code session alongside the five web pages that I was working on, and all the rest just as I left them... Not unreasonable I think!
What I actually find is that the system has been rebooted, and hidden away in an information log I find that "Windows successfully installed the following update: 2024-04..." at 5/13/2024 02:07:39
Idiots!
And someone asked if MS bashing was allowed - in my mind it is obligatory.

It actually de-hibernates my computer, installs updates and then leaves it running just to waste electricity and annoy me ...
Or worse, de-hibernates my computer, tries to shut down to install updates but finds a app - normally an MS app - that won't close so it leaves it running having not updated until I get up in the morning

Yup, so annoying. If it's hibernated, it should stay that way until I wake it up.
I've even shutdown completely and had it "wake up". How I don't know.
