#34056

Problem description

When on a file page and focusing the "open/close extensions panel" button, it is not apparent how one should enter the action items bar/extensions panel.

Expected behavior

The screen reader may announce the keyboard shortcut (down arrow) to enter the action items bar/extensions panel. Within the action items bar, we may use the toolbar role.
