Auto Disable Screen Reader VS Code Extension

[!NOTE] This project was AI-generated by Maxim Mazurok using Google Antigravity with Gemini 3 Flash.

This extension automatically ensures that editor.accessibilitySupport is set to off in your VS Code settings. This is useful when using tools like Wispr Flow that might trigger VS Code's "Screen Reader Optimized" mode, which can interfere with keyboard shortcuts (e.g., accepting Copilot suggestions).

Features

  • Auto-Disable: Automatically reverts editor.accessibilitySupport to off whenever it changes.
  • Polling Fallback: (Optional) Periodically checks the setting to ensure it stays disabled.
  • Configurable: You can enable/disable the extension or adjust the polling interval.

Installation

From GitHub Releases (Recommended)

You can download the latest .vsix file from the Releases page and install it manually:

  1. In VS Code, go to the Extensions view (Cmd+Shift+X).
  2. Click the ... (Views and More Actions) menu in the top right.
  3. Select Install from VSIX....
  4. Choose the downloaded .vsix file.

Configuration

  • autoDisableScreenReader.enabled: Enable or disable the auto-disabling logic.
  • autoDisableScreenReader.enablePolling: Enable polling as a fallback (default: false).
  • autoDisableScreenReader.pollingInterval: Interval in milliseconds (default: 500ms).

Developer Information

If you want to build the extension from source or contribute, please see CONTRIBUTING.md.
