Location of "Skip to Main" link below admin toolbar in Claro is problematic for screen magnifier users

Problem/Motivation

I believe that we organized the skip to main link under the admin toolbar simply because it looked better and was easier to implement.

Unfortunately it makes it more difficult for keyboard only screen magnifier users to discover it.

It is an unusual pattern to have the first focus link be under the navigation menu visually.

Most keyboard only users would expect to see the skip links at the top of the screen (if they exist). If you are on a high magnification and need to change settings, itโ€™s difficult to find.

Steps to reproduce

See skip to main link

Proposed resolution

Increase z-index of skip link.
Make skip link left aligned.
fix border-radius and add focus style consistent with rest of theme.
