Improve screen reader readouts in shortcuts menu #793

- I have searched for similar issues before opening a new one.
Problem
Using a screen reader (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver), the shortcuts menu is currently reading out symbols along with the shortcut keys.
- Ctrl + Enter is read as "control plus enter"
- Enter/Space is read as "enter slash space"
- Esc is read as "E-S-C"
Request
It would be helpful to have a screen-reader friendly readout - for example:
- Reading + as "and" so Ctrl + Enter would say "control and enter"
- Reading / as "or" so Enter/Space would say "enter or space"
- Reading Esc as "escape"
In a shortcuts menu where users are guided on what keys to press, using natural phrasing would convey that information with more clarity.
Alternatives considered
We considered creating a custom shortcuts menu but since a default shortcuts menu is provided, it seemed beneficial to still address this.
