Chrome Vox ought to have a hotkey to announce battery status and possible networking status

Reported by nimerjaber1@gmail.com, Jun 10 2016

Issue description

ChromeVox ought to have a keyboard command to announce battery status and possibly even network status. This keyboard shortcut is present in other screen readers on Windows and on the Mac, and is a useful shortcut to enable a user to determine his or her power level and network status without navigating away from a currently open application to the status tray. This is not a bug report. Rather, it is intended to be a feature suggestion.

This would just be another hotkey, and may not be needed. It is not too complicated for a user to navigate to the system tray to check that information, and a user does not lose hiss/her position when doing so. I know I created this bug, but I am rethinking it.
