Prototype a "skip to content" hidden button

[patricoferris]

When navigating content heavy pages with a keyboard, it would be nice if there was a hidden "skip to content" button that by-passed things like the navbar. This would hopefully improve the user experience for keyboard users.

There is already a lot of guidance online about this:

• CSS-tricks guide
• WCAG information on the skip link

A good first page to look at is the "up and running" page. Tabbing through this page to get to the main content takes many clicks. The visibility of the focus is being worked on in #1282 so that doesn't need to be addressed here.

This is quite an involved issue since it may require modifying the templates of pages. I would suggest:

• Modifying the generated output in ocaml.org for a particular page to get the correct functionality.
• Then try to incorporate this into the templates to see how it will work across many different pages.

@anshukaira would you like to tackle this issue as part of #1245? Let me know either way below :))

Hi @anshukaira, just wondering if you are still interested in this? If not, that's completely okay :)) If I don't hear back soon I will ask someone else if they would like to take this on.

@anshukaira I'm going to reassign this, if you still want to contribute could you ask again over in #1245 and I'll find another issue for you :)) ?

Hey @patricoferris Actually I was not able to come online for last 10 days due to some personal reasons. Sorry for that :( Thanks a lot for assigning the issue and I think it is already been taken care of. I will be online but I see a lot of potential applicants. If you still find a new issue please assign me once again. thanks again.
