Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Accessibility issue.

Please create shortcuts for contacts and place them into settings (like in Mail or Calendar app).

Some shortcuts (especially character key shortcuts) can interfere with shortcuts used by some assistive technologies. Please make sure that the shortcuts don’t interfere with screen reader commands (NVDA, Jaws, Orca).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Contacts app's existing shortcut and settings entry points, then read the linked WCAG 2.1 character-key-shortcuts guidance and the referenced BITV test. Done means contact shortcuts are available through settings and do not interfere with NVDA, JAWS, or Orca commands.
