[PP-1] Mimic the aural interface of the multi select div to the select element

Created on 8 January 2025, about 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

Follow up for 📌 Improve keyboard navigation for categories dropdown Active

At the moment there are two problems in regard of the aural interface for the multi select element. If you take a look and listen at popup_and_summary.mp4 you will notice two things:

  1. the select field is announced with pop up button while the multi select is only announced with group which is total generic and has not semantic value
  2. when the select field is expanded you get the announcement "menu, 2 items" that way you know the number of options available in that list, while in the multi select you get the first checkbox announced directly

Steps to reproduce

  • on admin/modules/browse/drupalorg_jsonapi expand the multi select and one of the three select element while your screenreader is active

Proposed resolution

native elements should be mimiced as close as possible. the exact way is still up for discussion
