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.
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.
