We've made 2 improvements to the terminal's accessibility this iteration:

  • A terminal accessibility help menu that aligns with the one in the editor (Show Accessibility Help)
    • Test with Terminal: Show Terminal Accessibility Help and the keybinding with the terminal focused macOS: alt+f1 linux/windows: shift+f1
    • With editor.accessibilitySupport enabled and a screen reader attached, verify that when you focus the terminal, you hear the keybinding for this
  • A new mode for the terminal that allows screen readers to read the buffer
    • Test with Toggle Screen Reader Accessibility Mode and with the keybinding Shift+Tab
    • Use a screen reader to verify that you can read the contents of the terminal via arrow keys
