Issue

Fixes #43

Details

We are seeing issues with voiceOver.navigateToWebContent() where the use of VO-Shift-Home which backs moveToBeginningOfText is moving user's cursor to the top of the window instead of the beginning of the text (something that appears to be a common issue reported on forums such as AppleVis).

Reading https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/voiceover/cpvokys04/mac it could be that we actually want VO-Home, but instead opting to remove this step altogether as it was initially introduced due to VO default web content behaviour of auto-navigating.

Auto-navigation should now be disabled by default as of @guidepup/guidepup@0.29.0 (https://github.com/guidepup/guidepup/releases#release-0.29.0), so we should be able to now just rely on the web content search and interaction steps to place us at the beginning of the web content without trying to "move to left" at any point.
