Actual vs. Expected Behavior

Actual Behavior

When a user types @ in the input to trigger the file insertion context menu, the menu appears visually but is not announced by screen readers. As a result, screen reader users are unaware that a menu has opened and cannot interact with its options.

Expected Behavior

Typing @ in the input should trigger a context menu for inserting files that is fully accessible to screen readers. This includes:

• Announcing the presence and purpose of the menu (e.g., a list of files to insert).
• Supporting keyboard navigation with proper ARIA roles and states.
• Announcing each menu item as it receives focus.

Detailed Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the Command Palette (e.g., Cmd+Shift+P or Ctrl+Shift+P).
2. Run the command: Roo Code: Focus on Input.
3. In the input field, type @ to trigger the file insertion context menu.
4. Observe that the menu appears visually.
5. Use a screen reader (e.g., VoiceOver, NVDA, or JAWS) to verify:
   • The menu is not announced.
   • No indication is given that a menu has opened.
   • Menu items are not accessible or navigable via screen reader commands.

👋 Hi @MuriloFP! I've switched to issue fixer mode and am now working on this accessibility issue. I'll analyze the @ context menu implementation and make it fully accessible to screen readers with proper ARIA roles, announcements, and keyboard navigation support.
