Description

@Luke-Robinett

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It is not related to broken functionality but it could make web navigation much easier on many sites/web apps.

Describe the solution you'd like

As an NVDA user, I'd like the ability to easily navigate by region, menu and tab group, so that I have more methods of getting around dense and complex web applications and pages.
I often hear NVDA announce these types of elements - region, menu and tab - but there are no corresponding single-character browse mode shortcuts for moving between these elements. It would be consistent with other web content announced by NVDA, such as links, form controls and headings, for which there are browse mode shortcuts.

Describe alternatives you've considered

There are currently no methods of moving by these element types, to my knowledge. For now, users must use the cursor keys or the existing browse mode shortcuts which sometimes don't allow you to quickly get to the elements I've mentioned above.

Additional context

I'm a software developer and often work in applications such as Azure Cloud where pages contain dense amounts of controls, options, settings and tabs, and often time such pages contain regions, tab groups and menus as announced by NVDA. I could be more efficient at my job if I could more easily traverse these dense pages, and additional browse mode shortcuts would enable this.
