Thanks @katiegoines pulled it down to test locally and have some questions/suggestions:

  • mainId is defined here in Layout.tsx Can we pass that down and use it here instead of static reference?
  • When using a keyboard, it looks like the focus indicator flashes when focus is moved. Seems like focus is on the right element still, but we lose the visual indicator. I wonder if that's because mainContent.focus() is happening before navigation occurs. Maybe we need this to occur in a listener for useRouter().router.events.on('routeChangeComplete', doFocusStuff);?
  • The caveat for the above^ is that we don't want the focus indicator to show up if you're just mouse clicking because it's a little jarring. So maaaaaaaybe it's ok as is but it would be nice to have some visual indicator of where focus moved to. It seems to work well using a screen reader.

We'd held off on this PR because we were considering replacing all next/links with tags, however testing this creates a lot of hydration errors. I recommend sticking with next/links
