      Actual Results

      Heading structure is found to be inappropriate on the modal. Text such as "Remove this shortcut" is coded as <h2> instead of <h1> which does not matches the visual hierarchy on the page. As a result, screen reader users found it difficult to understand the page's content structure.

      Expected Results

      The heading levels should be announced as per the visual hierarchy by screen reader to understand the page structure for their users.

      Use heading levels as per specification such as <h1> should be followed by <h2>, <h3> and so on.

      Provide <h1> for the "Remove this shortcut" text. 

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
