Accessibility support

[Neurrone]

Describe the bug

CheckboxTree is almost completely unuseable with a screen reader, or a keyboard.

Reproduction steps

1. Attempt to expand / collapse nodes with a keyboard.
2. Try to read the contents of the tree view with the NVDA screen reader.

Expected behavior

The tree is completely operable via the keyboard, and reads correctly for screen reader users. See https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.1/#TreeView

Do we have any update on this issue ? It breaks our accessibility test :(

[Neurrone]

@zhr1130 I've created an MR that is still pending review, but if you want, you can use my branch with some fixes

No updates, unfortunately. Accessibility is a high-priority addition, so it will be included in the next release.

I admit I have been terrible at finding time in the past. The recent outbreak has done little to stem this, as it has coincided with an increased workload in my professional capacity. My intention is to resume development on the next release sometime late April or early May, but timelines may change.

Thank you for the update , really looking forward to have this improvement in next release !
