Description

At the 782px breakpoint, common.css hides the side admin menu. Then there is no focusable content between the "Skip to Toolbar" shortcut link and its target, which makes the link unhelpful.

  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to 6.9

Given that the admin sidebar now auto-hides when focus isn't inside it, I think you're right that there is no case where this skip link will still be useful.

We just need to make sure to carefully consider & test all possibilities before doing this, to be sure that we're not removing an access point that we haven't considered.
