Screen reader users need to be able to jump from text to annotation, and back, like monitor users #1554

The problem:

For Ohio State's Accessibility review (and likely other institutions) we need to be able to show that keyboard + screen reader users have the same functionality available to them that monitor-using users have. This means being able to read the text, detect an annotation, and then jump to the Hypothesis Sidebar to read the annotation. From there the user needs to be able to jump back into the text at the point they left it.

S key on keyboard to jump from document to annotation context Standard NVDA shortcuts to jump back to the text selection

MD to confirm manually as expected to use NVDA's method to send the focus back to the document

If so, MD to talk to OSU to re-test this.
