Outdated keyboard snippet about macOS

[juanca]

From 5.5 Keyboard Navigation Between Components (The Tab Sequence)

In HTML, the default tab sequence of a web page includes only links and HTML form elements, except In macOS, where it includes only form elements. macOS system preferences include a keyboard setting that enables the tab key to move focus to all focusable elements.

seems to be outdated.

I have toggled the setting on a simple webpage that include a footer with a couple of <a> nodes. The anchor tags are always in the tab sequence.

However, what does seem to change is the tab sequence of my Chrome browser controls:

• Text boxes and lists only: only the location text input form is focusable and the main web content
• All controls: tabs, new tab, navigation buttons, bookmarks, what-have-yous are all in the tab sequence
