Description
monaco-editor version: 0.8.3
Browser: Edge
OS: Win10
Steps or JS usage snippet reproducing the issue:
- Open Windows Narrator
- Invoke Ctrl+G to go to line
- Type a line number and hit enter
- Focus moves to the editor, but there is no announcement for focus moving back to the editor.
Expected: Some announcement like 'focus moved to line 10 of editor'
In general when we move focus (such as go to defintion) we should announce where focus has been moved to before starting to read the editor contents again.

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior with Windows Narrator in Edge using Ctrl+G, entering a line number, and observing focus return to the editor; also consider the reported goto-definition path. The issue names no source file or test, so first locate the focus-management entry points and accessibility tests, then verify that the destination line and column are announced before editor contents are read.
