Problem description

I encountered an issue during accessibility checks: when creating a table with an actions column, the table header for that column lacks an accessible name, which is required for elements with the columnheader role.

W3C docs: https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#columnheader

I found this using the WAVE accessibility evaluation tool. https://wave.webaim.org/

Expected behavior

Filament currently renders the actions column header as this

<th class="w-1"></th>

I see 2 solutions to remedy, either;

1. Swap the <th> element to a <td> so it no longer has the columnheader role

<td class="w-1"></td>

2. Add an aria-label to the <th> element

<th class="w-1" aria-label="actions"></th>

Steps to reproduce

• Clone repository
• Install dependencies
• Make user with php artisan make:filament-user
• Login with user at /admin/login
• Navigate to users resource
• Use browser element inspector or WAVE extension to see the error with the column header
