Skip links are mainly for people who don't use a screen reader but do solely operate the computer by keyboard (or keyboard emulator, like a switch). Screen reader users shouldn't need skip links because page content should be organized within landmarks (header, main, search, footer, etc.) and have headings identifying different parts of the page and their logical hierarchy, the screen reader gives them tools to list and move to those semantic structures.
- madeofpalk 7y agoThis is actually one of the exact 'features' I was thinking should be there. I guess this might be due to my inexperience with these tools (my problem!) but I've never experienced, or figure out how to, jump between the landmarks with VoiceOver.
- extra88 7y agoIn VoiceOver on a Mac, one way I know is to press VO-U to open the Web Rotor then use the left-right arrow keys to navigate through the options, one will list landmarks if they are present on the page. I don't recall how to call up the Web Rotor on iOS devices.
