I would start back-tabbing at this point, but I don't know if that'd occur to most."
--------------- Many different user groups use keyboard-only navigation. People who cannot use a mouse would include those with conditions such as RSI, arthritis, shaking diseases, cerebral palsy etc. Some might use a normal keyboard but many use adaptive devices that emulate keyboards. Then there are those of us who just find it easier to use keyboard navigation on certain sites. I find myself doing this more nowadays especially on pages containing forms. I encounter a lot of sites where the page sometimes jumps when you click a link so you have to move the mouse and click it again. That obviously doesn't happen when using keyboard navigation. It would be great if browsers all had the kind of features you get in screen readers such the ability to jump to the next heading, list, form etc. That would make keyboard navigation a whole lot easier.
