I find our accessibility story a bit confusing since we don't allow most of the browser UI to be focused. That is, pressing tab in the URL bar doesn't do what tab normally does. I guess there's some other key that puts the browser into accessible mode? In that case, I would want to reuse that key. (I'm apologize for not knowing much about a11y.)
