[Bug 18439] Using directional cues (cue being an hour hand of a clock) to set focus on a page

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18439

--- Comment #4 from Devarshi Pant <devarshipant@gmail.com> ---
I don't think this is a browser UI feature request. The idea is to provide ATs
with appropriate hooks to enable navigation to the 4 quadrants of a webpage.
Screen readers do this with landmark roles. Ctrl + Home and  Ctrl + End are
familiar examples using just the keyboard, and while they fall short of putting
keyboard focus on top and bottom elements respectively, note the similar
[enhanced] intent behind this request.
