Citing from @violetto's comment:

Hitting on "Skip to navigation" skips users' cursor focus to the first item of table of contents on the page
Hitting on "Skip to content" skips users' cursor to content area
Hitting on "Search this guide" skips users' cursor to the Search field
Hitting on "How is your accessibility experience on this site?" opens up your OS email client with feedback email on the "Recipient" field.
Hitting on "x" closes the Accessibility bar

Two thoughts:

  1. I'm questioning the usefulness of "Search this guide" link, as search is the fifth tabable link in original tab order. I'd rather leave it out.
  2. "x" for closing is just for pointer users as it seems in the LinkedIn implementation, as it doesn't receive tab focus. I guess, if somebody mistakenly has activated the bar, they provide the user a way out.
