Bug description

Hello NextCloud Developers and Community,

I have a vision loss and working with screen readers (JAWS, Narrator, NVDA).

When I open the files menu I could navigate between the directories without any issues at the "Name" column, but when I moving my keyboard to the files section my screen readers (JAWS, Narrator, NVDA) only say "open/review without the file name. I have tested with the default files only.

Please check it by own with any of the listed screen readers.

NextCloud version: 32.x
Please let me know if you need any additional information from my side.

Thanks,
Regards,
Gabor

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the File menu.
  2. Navigate to the Directory and the file table menu with keyboard shortcut with "T" when my screen reader is on.
  3. moving with the table keyboard combination. Ctrl+Alt+arrow keys to the "Name" column
  4. When the Screen reader is on a directory there is no issue. It can read the directory name without any issues.
  5. But when the screen reader is on any of the default files it only says "open/review" without the name of the file.

Expected behavior

The screen readers have to read the name of files as well same as the name of the directories.
