Problem

This plugin has keyboard navigation, but doesn't have screen reader support yet.

Request

Add support for screen readers that describes:

  • How workspace search works (e.g., it is currently esc to focus the found block and this is not obvious)
  • Announce when matching blocks are found (perhaps we have to announce the currently matching block - unclear)
  • Is focusing the found block when the user presses Esc enough to understand that the workspace search input has closed and focus has now moved to the block you searched for?
