Description pmuesbeck 2015-04-23 21:29:07 UTC 
Buttons with a “...” label are read to the user as “button”. To give the users of screen readers more information on what the button does, they might either need a new  accessibility label or a help text which describes what the button does. An example for this can be found in Preferences > Keymap right next to “Search in Shortcuts” and in the table.
