Screen reader instructions specefic to forms mode

Hey All,

We have a custom widget that we want to make compatible in both VPC
and forms mode.

Currently it is easily accessible in VPC but for forms mode
compatibility there is slightly different keyboard operation.

So the requirement is to provide this instruction to screen reader
users, only when they are navigating in forms mode.

An alternative is to provide this instruction by marking the widget
container as region and providing instruction inside aria-label, but
in this way SR read it in VPC as well which is not required.
Please share your thoughts on it.

Happy New Year!
Ajay
