There is no way for a keyboard only user to skip the list of styles while trying to navigate to the third pane of the Inspector (when a 3-pane Inspector is toggled on) - they’ll have to press Tab multiple times for each class/style:

• Pressing Escape could’ve been moving the focus out of the Styles frame (that would’ve been focusable after the Print simulation toggle and would have had a meaningful accessible name) and then the user would’ve pressed Tab to move the focus to the 3-pane toggle, but Escape is only toggling a split view for the console and the frame is not escapable.
• Using shortcuts for navigation with a screen reader do not work well too, because they’ll only navigate within the frame (i.e. after the last grouping heading like “Inherited from html” the next “H” keypress would say that there is “no next heading” and the user would still have to Tab multiple times to pass the list of classes and styles.
