> If current status quo maintained then keyboard users (inc screen reader
users) will need to reverse tab up through all the bits to get back to the
Save button.
How is this different from, say, a single Publish or Save button on the
posts screen? The customizer automatically offers a live preview with
every change, while "Save" actually commits the changes. Tabbing around is
not unusual when submitting a form. Not to mention, users who use only the
keyboard are more likely to use additional tools to allow for quicker
navigation (Dragon NaturallySpeaking as probably the pre-eminent example).
Eventually, tabbing will return to the top anyway.
> When will I be able to see the 'finished' Theme Customizer and test for
accessibility? I'm downloading the nightly builds but I'm guessing it's
not in there yet?
It will be in today's nightly build.
