      Actual Results

      When screen reader users navigate to the "Publish" button, the label is announced as "Publish changes Type 'Ctrl+Enter' OR 'Ctrl+S'". The use of the word "Type" is misleading, as users are expected to press a key combination to perform the action, not type text. This incorrect instruction can confuse users by making it unclear how to activate the button using the keyboard. The issue stems from inaccurate text specified in both the "aria-label" attribute and the associated tooltip content, where the word "Type" is used instead of the appropriate term "Press". As a result, this creates a poor experience for screen reader users.

      Expected Results

      Ensure that a clear and accurate label is provided so that screen reader users receive correct instructions when interacting with the "Publish" button.

      In this case, update the value in both the "aria-label" attribute and the associated tooltip content to "Publish changes Press 'Ctrl+Enter' OR 'Ctrl+S'".

      This wording accurately reflects the required keyboard action and helps prevent confusion for screen reader users.
