Subject: [access-uk] Landmarks on web pages
A region on a web page can be labelled with a landmark role, such as
navigation,
search, main, or content info. This allows the user of a screen reader to
know the function of a region of the page, for example this region of the
page is the main content of the page, or this region is for navigation and
probably contains a list of links. Screen readers also have keystrokes for
moving to the next and previous landmark region on the page, so you can
easily browse what regions have been labelled on the page, and find the
region that you want.
If you're using Jaws, then the keystrokes for the next and previous
landmark are semi-colon and shift+semi-colon. If you're using nvda, they
are d and shift+d.
For more details, see this jaws guide to html page navigation:
