User Experience:
If any application does not allow assistive technology to programmatically execute available actions on objects it would be difficult for the platforms that provide Accessibility APIs, and would in turn affect the screen reader dependent users to determine the programmatically executable actions on objects.

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. Turn on the scan mode using 'Caps+Space'.
  4. Navigate the narrator focus out of edit area.
  5. Now press 'Ctrl+Shift+T' or 'Ctrl+Shift+W' to open or close any tab.
  6. Observe the issue.

Actual Result:
Not able to open or close any tab using 'Ctrl+Shift+T' or 'Ctrl+Shift+W' when narrator focus is not present in the edit area in the scan mode of the narrator.

Expected Result:
User should be able to open or close any tab using 'Ctrl+Shift+T' or 'Ctrl+Shift+W' even when narrator focus is not present in the edit area.

Note: NVDA browse mode not working.

MAS Reference:
MAS4.2.9
