Accessibility: Items not read aloud

[UltimateGG]

At least with ChromeVox:
Using arrow keys does not announce the highlighted value.
https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/combobox/examples/combobox-select-only/

I cannot figure out why, compared html to the WAI page's combobox, they look the same.

The issue is value not being in the dependency array for the useMemo of selectedItemId:

I'd make a pull request but there is still some problems:

• To read it must have the element focused with the aria-activedescendant attribute
• If there is no Command.Input there is no focused element with activedescendant
• If an item is clicked the input is no longer focused
• The query for a selected item uses encodeURIComponent - Even on the demo website this breaks as spaces get "%20"'d and it thinks nothing is selected

Please merge this change!

Bumping this up, just encountered this issue as well and thought we had implemented it in a wrong way.

We just came across this, too, when migrating from react-select, which is not actively maintained, to shadcn/ui's implementation of Combobox that uses cmdk. It appears that the last release of cmdk was over half a year ago, with many active PRs waiting to be merged.

@pacocoursey The component is great, we are grateful for your work and would like to use it in our projects. Are there any plans for this module to continue to be maintained?
