Re: [orca-list] Orca and VS Code

[Greg Wocher <gwocher gwocher com>]

Hello,

I am using a linux distribution called slint. It is a Slackware based distribution. I have been trying to find ut how to install VS Code on it and I am having no luck. Does anyone know how I can install it on my slint distribution. I would like to test VS Code. I do use VS Code on both Windows and Mac as well.

Hi

First of all I would like to thank everyone who directly and indirectly worked to make accessibility in VSCode possible.

I have no doubt that it will be of great use to many of us.

I have been testing VSCode using orca quite a bit and I am very impressed with the results regarding accessibility.

Another point to be mentioned is that the VSCode accessibility team responds very quickly when a bug is reported.

Thanks to everyone and a special thanks to Joanie. Without it, most likely the orca would not have the quality it has today.

Hi,

 

Just wanted to introduce myself since I just joined this group.

My name is Isidor Nikolic and I work on VS Code. I work on the Debugger, Explorer, UX and Accessibility.

 

Thanks to the great feedback from users using Orca I was informed that VS Code can now be used with Orca. More details here https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/90446

In short you need the following to have this working:

1. Latest Orca out of master
2. VS Code insiders started “editor.accessibilitySupport”: “on” in VS Code settings. 

 

From March the VS Code stable release should also be fine since we plan to ship with Electron 7. I also plan to update the VS Code accessibility Docs https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/accessibility I would include the steps to install Orca from master in our docs, so wanted to check if there is some doc online that I can link to for instructions?

 

For any VS Code accessibility issues I ask you to simply create issues on GitHub and feel free to ping me @isidorn on them https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/new?template=bug_report.md

 

I apologize for potential double email, since I already tried to send this message but was not yet a member of the group.

 

Wish you all a nice day

isidor
