Hello Vlad,

It's not a component in the sense you asked, but may be suitable for a demonstration.
- The Google Calendar has a combo box for selecting the calendar in which an appointment should be entered.
- Normally an appointment can be saved with the key combination CTRL+Enter.
- This also works with a screen reader (NVDA 2023.3RC2).
- However, this key combination does not work if the focus is on the combo box for selecting the calendar.
