Description: Certain buttons, such as the "More actions" gear icon, have insufficiently descriptive accessible names, making it difficult for screen reader users to understand their purpose.
Steps to Reproduce:
User Impact: Screen reader users are unable to determine the purpose of these buttons due to the lack of descriptive accessible names.
Expected Behavior: Buttons should have clear and descriptive accessible names, using internal text, aria-label, or aria-labelledby. For example, the "More actions" button could be labeled as "More Actions for Inline Code Suggestions (Shift+F9)."
Actual Behavior: The button has a generic name that does not provide enough context, limiting its accessibility.
Recommendation: Ensure all buttons have descriptive and concise accessible names that provide clear context. Avoid including the word "button" in the name, as the role is already indicated by the button element.
