Restricting Tab Navigation
I think much of the issue is that tab and shift-tab functions are intended for accessibility. The "Skip navigation. Press enter to return to slide." error is a feature not a bug (as the tech folks say). I don't believe that can be overridden.
I'm not really sure what "Skip navigation" is supposed to mean, which I think is why I want it gone so badly. I prefer to avoid popups that will cause confusion. But, being reminded that it's intentional clued me in that it's editable in the Player Text Labels. #147: Screen Readers: Skip navigation instructions
If I just change that to something less confusing, that may do the job. e.g. "Press Shift-Tab to return to slide."
That still means I need a different solution if they shift-tab too far.
I solved for the shift-tab going to the offscreen object, by shortening the timeline on it so it doesn't exist. Now it doesn't give an error message and doesn't show anything selected. I'm not sure yet if I'm happy with that as a final result since it's still putting something else in focus.
