This is typically a link that takes you to the start of content, so you press enter on it. I don't like using such links because they confuse me when I want to go back. You would expect the link to take you to another place on the same page, but if you try to go back a page with alt-left arrow, you stay on the same page. It takes a second press of alt-left arrow to go back an actual page, which is one more nagging point I don't need to keep in my head. Web designers who create such "Skip to content" links are already accessibility-savvy, so I find the h for heading or n for skip links works fine in those cases.
