I use a lot of accessibility apis indirectly for keyboard navigation, on macos Shortcat cannot find any elements to click inside Google Chrome or VSCode which makes me wonder if either Shortcat has a bug or Google Chrome is not exposing those elements through the accessibility api. Makes me hesitate to assume Electron apps are accessible by default

> I use a lot of accessibility apis indirectly for keyboard navigation Many cycles ago I wrote a tool which brought Unity-like menu search to Windows, and also used the accessibility API to do this (IAccessible, I think). Even back then there were many apps which didn't expose anything there, even from MSFT.
