Tabbing away from the menu button after establishing a bookmark focuses the search bar instead. about studygamedev-website

There is no bug. It is the design that is wrong.

Currently the menu works like this:

1. Upon using the shortcut, the site remembers the last thing you were looking at (using keyboard navigation).
2. If you open and close the menu (either via using the close button or tabbing beyond the menu's last navigation), it will focus back on the bookmarked node.

The problem with this design is that the reference back to a bookmark only works if you open the menu at all. If you use the shortcut and then hit tab, it will instead focus on the search bar. I dislike how this works; the same button being used in relatively the same context (navigating between elements) is having different outcomes with the same initial expectation set up. This will not do. A design alteration is necessary.

Currently proposed design alterations:

• When tabbing away from the toggle menu button when the menu is closed, determine if there is an bookmarked target or not.
  • If there is a bookmarked target (not null), then focus on that and set to null. This is resolved by the next bullet point by design, since the search bar follows the same system.
• Implement a new set of shortcuts for accessing the search bar, also with bookmarks.
  • If there is a bookmarked target (not null), then focus on that and set to null.
