• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: MOVED
• Component: Accessibility

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Using VoiceOver navigation
1. Start VoiceOver
2. Go to https://codepen.io/toddlr/pen/rNWmMxB
3. Navigate to the ARIA tree instance using VoiceOver navigation (e.g. Control-Option-Right Arrow)
4. Navigate to items with the aria-keyshortcuts attribute
5. Observe how VoiceOver does not announce the value of the aria-keyshortcuts attribute

Using keyboard shortcuts implemented in JavaScript
1. Start VoiceOver
2. Go to https://codepen.io/toddlr/pen/rNWmMxB
3. Navigate to the ARIA tree instance using the tab key
4. Navigate to treeitems with the aria-keyshortcuts attribute using the up or down arrow keys
5. Observe how VoiceOver does not announce the value of the aria-keyshortcuts attribute when an ARIA treeitem receives focus


What is the expected result?
VoiceOver should announce the value of the aria-keyshortcuts attribute

What happens instead of that?
VoiceOver does not announce the value of the aria-keyshortcuts attribute

Thanks. It looks like WebKit reports the value correctly

ax(519)> attr AXKeyShortcutsValue
$30: Control+Shift+L

So I've passed this off to the VoiceOver team.
