It is working mostly correctly (the transition back off the page is
not working for some reason) in my version of Opera 11. In order for
this to work, you need to enable single key shortcuts (Settings >
Preferences > Advanced > Shortcuts and check the box marked "Enable
single-key shortcuts"). Then press Q and A keys to navigate through
links. If you use the standard SHIFT + arrows, focus is not actually
set to the links in Opera, so the "skip" link cannot receive focus and
thus cannot transition into view.

While it used to be the best browser by far for keyboard navigation,
Opera's keyboard keyboard support has gone weird lately. I don't know
that a keyboard-only user would want to use Opera.
