/* Guideline 9.4: Do not attempt to create your own tab order.

This usually bypasses the generic built-in browser tab order.
So what would happen on a page with 15 links above the form? Presumably a keyboard user would tab through the first 10, then just down to the form, through that, and then back to the last 5, then move onto any links after the form. Not exactly expected behaviour. /* Guideline 9.5: Don't provide your own keyboard shortcuts. That is a job

I think it's been shown that just about all keys interfere with someone's shortcuts, whether it's a browser, screenreader, foreign characters, or whatever.
