What operating system do you use ?
Windows 10 Build 1703.
List of actions to perform to reproduce the problem:
- Load a screen reader, such as Narrator using control-windows enter in build 1703 or windows-enter in previous builds of windows.
- Navigate the main screen using tab and shift tab keys.
What is the expected behaviour ?
The buttons on the main screen should announce with names such as delete button, settings button, etc. This was the behaviour in the previous youtube-dlg, 0.3.8.
What happens instead ?
The screen reader simply says “button” for most buttons on the main screen. This makes it tricky to know what the buttons will do.

The UI is cluttered, but a lot of UIs are cluttered. I think it would be usable if screen readers are able to identify the buttons and controls. It would also help if controls had accelerator keys (alt+u for URLs, alt+d for downloads, something like that) so it would be easy to jump to a specific control.
