Hi, this PR would solve the accessibility findings in our project. Will this be merged in the near future? Would be really appreciated! |

Same as @felix-schaffernicht-syzygy , merging this in will help address our accessibility issues when using it! |

Hey @UltimateGG, this is great thanks! I'm not involved in this project but it looks like you have tests failing if you look at https://github.com/pacocoursey/cmdk/pull/254/files. I wonder if we get those fixed if this will get some attention. @pacocoursey I'd be happy to pitch in here since accessibility is broken outright at the moment. Let me know how I can assist! Thanks! |

Closes #253
Values were not being read aloud when selected with mouse, arrow keys, etc.
This is because:
aria-activedescendantwas not being updatedaria-activedescendantmust be focused to read the value it references aloudFinding the selected item was previously done using a querySelector and encodeUri which is bad because if children are used instead of a string, this will not serialize well (As well as spaces, special characters, etc.). The new approach is more robust and uses the actual ID in the dom.
The focus issue is solved by changing the focus back to the command input, or outer list container when the value is updated.
