VS Code accessibility community where users can share feedback, issues, and accessibility practices.
But what good would that do me? I really don't see the purpose.
The announcement is only helpful in that it tells me that a cursor was being added, and also two numbers, separated by a colon, which in German translates to a time announcement like (8 12 AM) with my synthesizer. 😉 In the case of nothing being selected, it just says "cursor added".
@nolan:thewordnerd.info can you file a new issue in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-pull-request-github and ping me on it @isidorn
Alternatively I can connect you directly with Rachel the author of that extension so you can provide feedback in a call.

@marcozehe:matrix.org thanks for trying it out!
- If you add a secondary cursor below and there is no line below, nothing will happen. So make sure that you at least have two empty lines
- If it just says "cursor added" that is a bug I will look into. I believe it actualy does not add the cursor and just announces it added it. I can push fix today
- Regarding selaction, if you use select something, press cmd + d (that will select the next occurence). And typing both will get replaced
- If you want to sync over a call let me know. I am in CET timezone and I have time today any time
Clarifcation on 2. -> it should always say at what line:column the cursor was added
@isidorn: Aha, so this multiple cursor thing really only makes sense if you have several occurrences of text in a file, select one and want to replace multiple of them?
Aha, yes, having an empty line below the current one, adding a cursor said (adding a cursor 13:1" (Spoken as 13 to 1" for me), and the text I typed appeared in both. I assume the cursor goes away as soon as I switch lines?
@marcozehe:matrix.org the cursor will go away automaticaly if you merge them (for example you have two lines in total and you press down, then the first cursor will go down, second will stay in place and thus they merge). If you want to expcility remove the cursor you have to press
esc
And I do think that the issue is that there is no way to tell if the second cursor is still active or not
Also here's the issue for the other problem you found microsoft/vscode#118965
@mohammad-suliman hi! My college Peng is actually currently working on improving this. The current experience with VS Code insiders should be OK. It would be best if you can try it out and provide feedback here microsoft/vscode#111255
Thanks a lot

Hi all.
I am developing a dotnet application inside a container and whenever I open a terminal, orca reads the following message:
'Terminal 1 environment is stale, run the Show Environment Information command for more information'
I press f1, type 'Show Environment Information', press enter but nothing happens.
Am I doing something wrong?
Oh neat, didn't know Escape focused the whole tree. I'll use that one next time, having to hunt up a top-level file works for me but is a bit annoying. 🙂 Thanks.
I think, keeping F6 would be important. But now that each tabstop only stops in one container once, I think it is OK to include the status bar like other toolbars. After all, there are lots of controls in there one can interact with, so it is not just showing read-only status, but also has toolbar characteristics. Would get a 👍️ from me.
I mean, include the status bar in the tab stops.
In addition to what was said by @marcozehe:matrix.org and with which I agree, I miss a command that allows me to jump directly to the status bar. When editing a line, for example, I need to identify the number or column in which the line is starting. It would be great if I could quickly jump to the status bar, identify this information and quickly return to the line that was being edited.
I believe f6 makes you do that quick, but there are drawbacks. you may easily forget how many times to use it and in what direction, also, well, depending on where you are you don't always need one press. actually I am not sure how much you need to get there from the editor. I am for leaving f6 and possibly adding key binding specially designed to jump there. For it being a tab stop, I am not sure, I am definitely not against it
@isidorn The creation of the command "focus status bar" seems interesting to me, but it would be excellent if there was a quick way to get back to the same point we were in when the command was invoked. Suppose we are in the file explorer and we invoke the command "focus status bar". By pressing the esc key or the f6 key, for example, we would return to the file explorer.
So basically when focus on whole status bar esc would move focus to editor
or that's not a good approach at all but I am not sure.
not sure which, from explorer you could do ctrl+b to go to editor for example
@isidorn I tested the command 'focus status bar', and at least in my environment I need to press the esc key twice to return to the editor. This seems to happen if we use the arrows to move the focus to any of the items in the status bar. When pressing the esc key the orca reads the entire contents of the status bar and if I press the esc key again the focus returns to the editor.

Is there any way to have items in the outline view collapsed by default? Sometimes I want to use the outline to navigate a file quickly, but the fact that everything appears expanded means I arrow down to a new symbol, collapse it, arrow down to the next symbol, collapse that, ... So it's rarely as useful as I want it to be.
Not immediately clear why it would start expanded anyway. Seems like the point of that view is to have an overall glimpse of what's in the file, with the ability to drill down as needed.
@nolan:thewordnerd.info as far as I know there is no way to do have the outline collapsed by default, feel free to file a new issue in our reporistory and my friend Joh might add it.
In the menatime, there is a command outline.collapse, you could bind any keybniding to it, and always trigger that keybindgin when you want to collapse the outline view

I'm making an accessible code ruler extension, and I want a way to display notifications that will be spoken by a screen reader, but also don't clog up the notifications view.
The vscode.window.showInformationMessage function doesn't let me specify a timeout, and the vscode.window.setStatusBarMessage function doesn't speak when I use it.
What other channels are available?
Thanks in advance.
