No way to skip repeated navigation on Shopify
What this is
Keyboard users must tab through every menu link on each page before reaching the content. A "Skip to main content" link lets them jump past it.
Who it affects

- Screen reader users

How to fix it
- Add a link as the first focusable element in `<body>` that points to the main content.
- Give the main content an `id` (for example `<main id="main">`).
- Hide the link visually until it receives focus, then show it.
On Shopify
Wrap page content in `<main id="MainContent">` in `theme.liquid`; most themes already do — check custom sections.
