Using NVDA - we can confirm that
Ctrl-Shift-] and Ctrl-Shift-[ work for switching tab navigation, but no announcement of the tab name is made - so the user has no idea what tab they switched to.
Ctrl-B works to toggle the left pane, but again, does not announce.
Ctrl-Shift-B to toggle the single document mode works, but again does not announce.
Ctrl-Shift-C to focus the command palette works, but again does not announce.
Tab completion behavior - work, not announcing when initially invoked, and improperly repeating the text already typed, and not announcing the options themselves as they are navigated through.
Ctrl-S works to save, but does not announce the status. It should use an aria-live region.
Additionally, after discussing with James and Neil - you might want to enable that behavior to be customizable, to allow screen reader users to opt in and out of this behavior.
Ctrl-Shift-S brings up a non-real-dialog, but Tab behavior does allow navigation between those buttons.
Ctrl-F and Ctrl-G work - but no announcement of navigation. The default browser behavior announces the number of the result, at least.
Ctrl-Shift-L works - but again, no announcement (feedback) about a new panel having been created.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
