33726	Django admin needs a skip link	Thibaud Colas	Marcelo Galigniana	"[https://www.a11yproject.com/posts/skip-nav-links/ Skip links] are a very common pattern to help keyboard go straight to a page’s main content. They aren’t technically a requirement to meet accessibility standards, but they’re recommended as nice-to-have way to help with issues such as those targeted by  WCAG [https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/bypass-blocks.html SC 2.4.1: Bypass Blocks].

I think the Django admin should have a skip link on all of its pages, so keyboard users can bypass:

- The header area
- The sidebar

Here is a simple example to illustrate the problem – it currently takes 32 tab stops to reach the page’s main content on my demo site:

With a skip link, this is reduced to 2 tab stops (and one press of Enter to navigate):
