Aha good point!
Ok this is not very obvious and we can make it more user friendly
F1 > Show accessibility help
Ctrl + E to turn on accessiblitySupport
Let me know if this works
Kind regards

I'd guess you do need the flag for the first time, then you don't. It's
actually nice as you don't have to modify the startup shell script or
I'd say the solution is: use it first, then activate
editor.accessibility. You would likely not need to use it again unless
you somehow reset settings to defaults.
