| ## 2024-05-25 - Accessibility for textual icon buttons | ||
| **Learning:** Textual icons (like `>`) used in icon-only buttons can be read confusingly by screen readers (e.g. "greater than"). It is necessary to hide them with `aria-hidden="true"` while providing a descriptive `aria-label` on the parent `<button>`, particularly localized strings like "Envoyer le message" in this application's French context. | ||
| **Action:** Always wrap literal text icons in `<span aria-hidden="true">` when the parent button has an `aria-label` to prevent redundant or confusing screen reader announcements. |

Since the trigger button now has
aria-haspopup="true"andaria-expanded, the popup container should haverole="menu"and its interactive children should haverole="menuitem"to conform to the ARIA Menu Button pattern. Additionally, adding anonKeyDownhandler to close the menu when theEscapekey is pressed significantly improves keyboard accessibility.
