The interface for creating/editing models is inaccessible with screen readers such as VoiceOver

Problem/Motivation

The main interface for creating/editing models is currently almost completely inaccessible with a screen reader such as VoiceOver.

Specifically, the icons located on the main canvas that are used to create and manage events, conditions, and actions are completely invisible to VOiceOver (and I assume other screen readers).

The configuration elements on the right of this canvas (where you name the component, etc,) *appear* to be accessible, but as a screen reader user myself I could not be sure that all UI elements here are indeed accessible.

By chance I was somehow able to create what the screen reader told me was a “task”. Having done this, the UI elements used to select a template for this task also appeared to be accessible.

However, in its current state, it is impossible to achieve anything meaningful with this module if using a screen reader.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Perform an accessibility audit of the module's model creation interface.
