It helps people who only use the keyboard to jump to what matters most

The population grows very fast nowadays and with that the number of visually impaired increases as well. Did you know that we have over 350 million visually impaired people in the world?

However, we are responsible for doing our utmost to make our applications usable and accessible to everyone.

"Skip to content" or "skip to a section" of your site is one of the most common accessibility techniques today, but not as used as it should be.

In addition to being a technique recommended by WCAG 2.0, that's where this component was inspired.
