SUMMARY:

ENG-162487:
Links should direct keyboard users to the relevant form section by either linking to the section heading or setting focus on the first input field.
Solution:
When the Enter or Space key is pressed on a link, the page smoothly scrolls to the corresponding form section and automatically sets focus on the first input field, enabling immediate keyboard interaction
