Accessibility Keyboard only tab to z-index "Back to Top"

Question

How can you setup a tab index to a last link on the page with "Back To Top" Example page - https://www.shoeshow.com/terms-of-use

The following question explains about tab-index - tabindex in CSS

1) This does not seem like such a big issue because must keyboard users know about ctrl+home and ctrl+end. Bugging me to figure out how to tab to a z-index hyperlink.

If I find the answer I will edit this post, but hoping some others have done this to help me figure this out faster.

EDIT --- (WARNING) Do not run in full page by running this code in full page you will tab through a lot of stackoverflow content, but this does work. It is the placement of you "Back to Top".

The answer for this question had to do with the html layout for the "Back to Top" It has to be at the end of the page.

The code

 var offset = 220;
 var duration = 500;
 jQuery(window).scroll(function() {
   if (jQuery(this).scrollTop() > offset) {
     jQuery('.back-to-top').fadeIn(duration);
   } else {
     jQuery('.back-to-top').fadeOut(duration);
   }
 });

 jQuery('.back-to-top').click(function(event) {
   event.preventDefault();
   jQuery('html, body').animate({
     scrollTop: 0
   }, duration);
   return false;
 });

.back-to-top {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 2em;
  right: 0;
  z-index: 999;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #000000;
  background-color: rgba(235, 235, 235, 0.80);
  font-size: 1.4em;
  padding: 1em;
  display: none;
}
.back-to-top:hover {
  background-color: rgba(135, 135, 135, 0.50);
}
.back-to-nav {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 2em;
  left: 0;
  z-index: 99999999;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #000000;
  background-color: rgba(235, 235, 235, 0.80);
  font-size: 12px;
  padding: 1em;
  display: none;
}
.back-to-nav:hover {
  background-color: rgba(135, 135, 135, 0.50);
}

12. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS WAIVER

This section applies to any dispute you have with the Company, unless the dispute involves rights to your, the Company’s, or our licensor’s intellectual property.  

Notice of Dispute.  In the event of a dispute, you or the Company must give the other a Notice of Dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the dispute, and a proposed solution.  You must send any Notice of Dispute by U.S. Mail to the Company at Office of General Counsel, Shoe Show, Inc., PO Box 648, Concord, NC, 28026-0648.  The Company will send any Notice of Dispute to you by U.S. Mail to your address if we have it, or otherwise to your email address. You and the Company will attempt to resolve any dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the Notice of Dispute is sent. After sixty (60) days, you or the Company may commence arbitration.
Small claims court.  You may also litigate any dispute in small claims court in Cabarrus County, North Carolina or in your own county of residence, if the dispute meets all the requirements to be heard in small claims court.  You may litigate in small claims court whether or not you negotiated informally first. 
Binding Arbitration.  If you and the Company do not resolve any dispute by informal negotiation or in small claims court, any other effort to resolve the dispute will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration as described in this section. You are giving up the right to litigate (or participate in as a party or class member) all disputes in court before a judge or jury. Instead, all disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act.  Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.Class
Action Waiver.  Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor the Company will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.
Arbitration Procedures.  Any arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules.  You agree to commence arbitration only in your county of residence or in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. The Company agrees to commence arbitration only in your county of residence. You may request a telephonic or in-person hearing by following the AAA rules. In a dispute involving $10,000 or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. The arbitrator may award the same damages to you individually as a court could. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to you individually, and only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim.
Arbitration Fees.  For disputes involving $75,000 or less, the Company will reimburse your filing fees and pay the AAA’s and the arbitrator’s fees and expenses.  For disputes involving more than $75,000, the AAA Rules will govern payment of all filing fees and expenses.  
Claims or disputes must be filed within one year.
