Allow rapid navigation to regions of a given type within webpages, web applications and widgets, using lists and/or next/last shortcut keys.

Key types include: navigation areas, main content, articles, and search functionality. These would be contextualized if you were within a particular widget.

Potential markup to support this includes HTML4 markup (MENU, DIR, REL="search" pointing to an internal fragment), proposed ARIA landmark roles ("navigation", "main", "search"), proprietary extensions (INPUT TYPE="search") and proposed HTML5 markup (NAV, SECTION, ARTICLE).

Labels could be derived for regions from headings, TITLE attributes, and proposed ARIA markup like LABELLEDBY.

Heuristics might be able to provide similar functionality even in pages without this markup.
