Summary

Refactor Kolibri to use <KLiveRegion> and its companion useKLiveRegion for reasons mentioned in https://github.com/learningequality/kolibri-design-system/issues/668.

Current live regions in Kolibri:

(1) aria-live
- search results
(2) role="alert"
- search results
- roughly corresponds to assertive aria-live but with added semantic meaning as on some screen readers it prepends announcements with “Alert: …”
(3) role="timer"
- search results

To decide/discuss

Should <KLiveRegion> also support the timer role (3) or is it best to leave that one extra live region as is?
Is there a place where we could put <KLiveRegion> in Kolibri so that it takes effect for all plugins, or should each plugin include it?
