Those roles are identifying the purpose of the container:
-
role="form"is identifying the container that include both suggested actions and text box. In fact, the send box is a form -
role="toolbar"is identifying the collection of suggested actions -
aria-orientation="vertical"is telling PWD that the orientation of the toolbar is vertical, instead of traditonally horizontal - The suggested actions has shortcut keys to quickly jump to, thus,
aria-shortcutstelling PWD what shortcut keys they could use to quickly jump to the suggested actions
