♿ AVT3 ♿ Code Snippet - Screen reader accessibility is poor

[dakahn]

User tested with latest version of JAWS 2018, Windows 7, Chrome latest version

JAWS screen reader does not announce a code snippet as code and just reads it as text.

Note: this could be a larger problem with code blocks and screen readers in general and not specific to our implementation, but it's worth noting here for posterity's sake -- and perhaps work can be done to improve this situation

AVT 3 issues found with macOS Mojave, Chrome and VoiceOver.
For the inline code snippet VO does not:

• announce what the button is for. VO should announce that it is a "copy" button.
• announce that the text is a code snippet.
• announce "copied" after the button is pressed the first time. (note: copied is announced after the button is pressed twice).

For the single and multi-line code snippet VO:

• Incorrectly announces that the code snippet is an editable text field.
• Does not announce "copied" after the button is pressed the first time. (note: copied is announced after the button is pressed twice).

Renaming this ticket and we can just use it to track the work on the code snippet more broadly for AVT3 compliance 💃
