Bug Description

I am a visually impaired user, and am having an issue with the editor. Currently, when moving the caret around, the screen reader does not speak anything, making typing mostly impossible. If I create a selection, however, the screen reader announces the selection correctly.

How to Reproduce

Use NVDA or Windows Narrator and open AppFlowy. Type in the editor and move the caret around with the arrow keys, you'll notice nothing is read aloud.

Expected Behavior

AppFlowy to successfully announce caret movements to the screen reader.

Operating System

Windows 11

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.7.1

Screenshots

No response

Additional Context
