I just wrote a little #NVDASR app module for Phone Link to:
1. Allow shift+tabbing to the message list without the app crashing, since Microsoft apparently can't be bothered fixing this rather severe bug.
2. Allow alt+1 to focus the Conversations list when the Messages view is already active instead of just doing nothing.
I can't really be bothered submitting it as a proper add-on or a core app module, but if anyone wants it, let me know and I can throw it up somewhere.

Maybe it would be good for the windows app esentials addon?

@drew Maybe. It probably should go in core, but it feels a bit weird because I'm hacking around a very silly bug that Microsoft will probably eventually fix. Then again, maybe they won't.

@drew Mostly, I just don't have the patience or inclination right now to go through code review and polish the code - type annotations, etc. - when it works just fine for me.

Does phone link get updated often? I haven’t used it much though I hear it is quite useful. IDK man, I am still mad at them for “new outlook” being such a pile of garbage. I have to use it for work and it is a massive hit to my productivity. I am not confident the app teams are looking at stuff like that. I suppose I should be more forgiving though, , their track record in general is quite good.

@drew I do get update notifications every now and then, one within the last month or so, but I'm not really sure how often. I did submit feedback for the crash a while back and it's been crickets thus far.
