 scroll the content

 Adding `role="tab"` to the scrollable wrapper seems to fix this. Not sure
 if that breaks something else for screen readers.

 > symbols like `* - > #` get announced in a weird way or they don't get
 announced at all

 Hmm, thought screen readers would "understand" the `<kbd>` tag, seems they
 don't... Would it help if we wrap these in a `<code>` (although
 semantically `<kbd>` is the proper tag there). Is there anything other we
 can add to make screen readers "read" these? Perhaps some aria attr?

 We can also add spans with screen-reader-text, not sure if that won't make
 it messier.

 Going to commit it with the above changes so it can be tested easier.
