Description

Currently the editor is not accessible for screen readers because:

  1. It does not provide accessible names for interative elements.
  2. It relies on non-iteractive elements for interaction.

Proposed solution:

  1. Add accessible names to interactive elements via aria-label attribute or visually hidden text.
  2. Add role="button" attribute to all interactive elements or (better) use button tag instead of div.
  3. Add aria-hidden="true" and focusable="false" to SVG icons.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify interactive elements in the editor, add aria label attributes, and replace divs with buttons where appropriate. Test with a screen reader.
