Research direction

Locate the .tl-slide implementation and inspect the example on the last slide, “Sponge Ware Sherd, Harvard Yard.” Check how overflowing slides behave from the keyboard in browsers other than Firefox when no focusable elements are present. Done means the overflow can be reached and scrolled by keyboard without requiring existing focusable content.
