Skip Links and ARIA Landmarks for Sighted Users

Hello:

Some of our screen reader testers have told me that they now prefer scanning ARIA Landmarks and headings over the traditional skip navigation link. I think this is great news for ARIA and for developers, but I was wondering if it interfered with usability for sighted keyboard users.

Are there tools that allow a sighted keyboard user to access and navigate between ARIA landmarks and headings?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks
Elizabeth
