User Experience:
Users who rely on screen reader would be impacted and not able to get the information as narrator stays silent and does not provide any confirmation about the tab getting open or closed.

Test Environment:
OS: Win 10 2004 Build (20262.1010)
App: Windows Terminal
App version: 1.4.3243.0

Repro Steps:

  1. Open Windows terminal app.
  2. Launch Narrator.
  3. Press "Ctrl+Shift+T" or "Ctrl+Shift+W" to open or close tab respectively.
  4. Observe the issue.

Actual Result:
Screen reader does not provide any confirmation and stays silent after opening or closing new tab.

Expected Result:
Screen reader should provide the proper confirmation about the opening or closing new tab.
When pressing "Ctrl+Shift+T" to open new tab narrator should announce the information like new tab opened successfully, Similarly pressing "Ctrl+Shift+W" to close tab, narrator should announce the information like tab closed successfully.

Note: Issue does repro with NVDA.
