Additional Context

As a result on https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/179689#issuecomment-2883984545 , stand-alone monaco editor on the web no longer has the accessibility help dialog. It is not accessible through the previously used Alt+F1 shortcut nor is the "Show Accessibility Help" command available in the command palette.

And since the dialog is missing, the accessibilityHelpUrl configuration parameter (https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/docs.html#interfaces/editor.IStandaloneEditorConstructionOptions.html#accessibilityHelpUrl) is also not usable.

This makes the stand-alone monaco editor less accessible, as now there is no way for users to discover the screen reader optimizations or switch out Tab key effect (Control+Shift+M shortcut that still works).

I see that the information about Accessibility Help menu has been removed from the monaco editor accessibility wiki page (https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor/wiki/Monaco-Editor-Accessibility-Guide/_compare/acf6ee45faa4a210c55cba7d8373ba5b7b185b69...bc5d5974a5e422178c4b0cb4afe9850393f11635), but it's still mentioned in the Accessibility Guide for Integrators (https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor/wiki/Accessibility-Guide-for-Integrators).

Is there a new recommended approach to add accessibility help in the use-case of stand-alone monaco editor (non-vscode) integration?

Start with the standalone editor command palette and Alt+F1 accessibility-help entry points, using the linked Monaco Editor Playground reproduction. Check how accessibilityHelpUrl is expected to connect to the help pop-over; done means the command and shortcut open Accessibility Help for standalone integrations, or the supported replacement is documented.
