What is the method to move to the next focusable element using screen readers?

Using the Tab key is the standard method for moving to the next focusable element when navigating web content with screen readers. This key allows users to cycle through interactive elements, such as links, buttons, and form fields, in the order they are presented in the document's source code.

When a user presses Tab, the focus moves to the next element that can receive input, making it essential for navigating web applications and forms efficiently. This method is part of the keyboard accessibility guidelines, enabling users who rely on keyboards and screen readers to access and interact with web content effectively.

In contrast, other keys such as Shift + Tab typically serve the function of moving backward through the focusable elements, while arrow keys are used for navigation within items like lists or carousels but do not change the focused element in a linear fashion. The Enter key is commonly used to activate or select a focused element but does not facilitate moving focus to the next element.
