Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/15756

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Adds an AutomationProperty.Name to the main grid in the SettingContainer. Doing so makes it so that the group of elements is considered a "group <header>".

Now, when navigating with a screen reader, when you enter the group of elements, the "group <header>" will be presented. Thus, if the user navigates to the "reset" button, it'll be prefaced with a "group <header>" announcement first. If the user navigates to it from the other direction (the setting control), this announcement isn't made, but the user already has an understanding of what group of settings they're in, which is standard practice.

Closes #15158
