Hi Birkir,
We try to advocate for as little off-screen content as possible here. Our view is that any site should try to make an equivalent experience for as wide as possible audience of people with disabilities. If you create off-screen controls, for example, people with motor disabilities who have site might tab onto them and get confused when focus disappears, and the same for people with inteellectual disabilities.

Thanks.

Jim
