Description
Describe the bug
Important buttons within dialogs could be missed by screen reader users because they are found with left and right cursor movement as opposed to tabbing.
Expected behavior
Desired behaviour would be for prompts which can only be read by screen readers. For example, "Left to Right ToolBar"
Platform information
All Platforms
Additional context
This would greatly assist school-age users and older people who have been long-time screen reader users who have difficulty adapting to new ways of working.
