Safari with an embedded PDF, the four transient controls are circled in red and yellow and are as described.

When viewing a PDF in Safari directly or via an iframe, a cluster of four buttons appears at the bottom center of the viewport when the mouse pointer approaches it (see attached image). The buttons allow the user to zoom out, zoom in, open in preview, and download.

However, I cannot access those four controls using only my keyboard.

- I have FKA enabled.
- Mouse Keys does not count given it is emulating a mouse.
- VoiceOver is not a keyboard-only solution to access them.
- I found no key combo that put focus on the cluster nor its controls.

I discovered it when viewing this page in Safari: https://adrianroselli.com/2024/03/csunatc-wcagmire.html

After asking around on the socials, this appears to be a known and long-standing issue, but I could not find a bug report for it.
