Description
Hello. I am a blind user of your app, so use a screen reader, like TalkBack or ChromeVox. While using the app on the ChromeBook, I'd love to be able to use keyboard commands to interact with the comment I'm on, like upvoting, downvoting, or replying. These keys seem to be open for use:
Control + a
: Upvote comment
Control + z
: Downvote comment
Control + r
: reply to comment
On Android, you could also use the accessibility Actions menu for Reply, upvote, downvote, all that, although the double tap and hold works well too.

The issue specifies keyboard commands for comment upvotes, downvotes, and replies on ChromeOS, plus Android accessibility Actions menu entries. Start by locating the existing comment actions and checking how keyboard input and accessibility actions are handled. Done means the requested actions work with screen readers without disrupting existing controls or conflicting with other shortcuts.
