In e464e69 I removed href='#' but I noticed that it broke some things. Readding href serves two purposes: - it makes links reachable with Tab key - it makes links clickable with Enter key The alternative to this approach was to introduce [tabindex] and [role] attributes. But not only using tabindex=0 with <a/> is questionable, it'd require adding a keyboard handler that'd intercept space and return key presses and simulated link clicks. Since it's best to leave this kind of thing to the native UI, I went with readding hrefs instead. I believe that hash hrefs, even though being a common practice, are silly, so I decided to settle down with empty hrefs. As a bonus, I added a snippet that prevents middle mouse clicks from opening such links/buttons in new tabs, which was the motivation for e464e69.
