Main Heading should be focused after a menu item is selected #622

Description

@aphelionz

Note: This applies to the home page call to action panels as well

Steps to reproduce (assumes ChromeVox or similar)

  1. [Tab] or [Shift+Tab] to the search field
  2. Enter the letters "on" to filter the list
  3. Press [Tab] to navigate to a navigation section with more than one result, such as the one shown above
  4. Press [Enter] to activate the menu item link

Actual Result
The list un-filters, leaving a non-sighted user lost in a context switch on input with no instructions or indication that something has changed. They then have to tab through a very long list to get to the content.

Expected Result
The H1 element that presents at the top of every major page of the site should be auto-focused on and read once an item is selected from the menu.

Suggested Fixes
Auto-focus the H1 on menu selection with Javascript, or even better, an anchor tag (if possible)
