Hierarchy: enter groups and pass earlier siblings. Quick navigation: an optimistic choice of next-type keys or heading keys followed by next-type keys. Target scan: source-order target stops, not screen-reader lines or Tab presses.

Assumptions and limitations

Screen readers also offer search, filtered element lists, landmarks, and other shortcuts that can outperform these models. See the NVDA navigation guide. No screen-reader timing or blind-user study has been performed.
