[A11y] Screen Reader does not announce opened link balloon
📝 Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)
- Create a link in the editor.
- Start your screen reader / VoiceOver
- Close the balloon and navigate the cursor onto the created link
- Press [Ctrl] + K to open the link balloon
✔️ Expected result
The screen reader should announce that a balloon has been opened. A blind person otherwise has no clue that something just happened.
❌ Actual result
No acoustic feedback. A blind person does not know that a balloon has opened.
❓ Possible solution
Maybe the default behavior should be to focus the balloons content after using the shortcut. Right now, the user needs to press [TAB] to set the focus to the balloon's toolbar. Before, they wouldn't really know something happened. Of course, this would be a UX / focus management change and should be discussed
📃 Other details
- Browser: Chrome
- OS: Mac OS
- First affected CKEditor version: Tested 41.3.1
