CI Version

This extension has been developed to provide useful commands and keyboard shortcuts to VS Code users who use a screen reader like NVDA. It is very much a work in progress.

Features

The current release provides the following keyboard shortcuts to enhance the VS Code experience (assumes a Windows keyboard; substitute Cmd for Ctrl if using a Mac):

  • Create a new file from the Explorer pane using Ctrl + N
  • Create a new folder from the Explorer pane using Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Focus to the current visible notification using Tab
  • Dismiss notifications that are currently displayed using Escape. This is already the current behavior but the feedback is only visual. Also since we're adding a new action when notifications are visible, this ensures the least confusion.
