After completing a word in the terminal, screen reader user cannot edit of review it

User is using orca.

Another thing I can't do is complete a command in the terminal either. Normally this is done via tab which screen readers often override. Do you know how other terminals handle this? One workaround you could try is to setup a custom keybinding to send the tab sequence to the shell:

{
    "key":"ctrl+.",
    "command":"workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
    "when":"terminalFocus",
    "args":{  "text":"\u0009"  }
}

Also we plan on investing in shell integration-based auto complete sometime in the future which will give you access to a autocomplete similar to the editor, as opposed to shell-based.

Pressing the tab key actually completes the command. The big problem for me is that I can't edit or review this command.

I'm guessing they can edit it but don't get the necessary feedback. Some things to look into:

• Can we improve announcing of shell-based tab completions, even if this is handled specially via an alert?
• Does left/right announce the character properly when moving the cursor?
• Are Terminal: Run Recent Command completions announced properly? This is probably what we will recommend in the future for screen reader users. Note that it doesn't do completion yet but we plan on adding that.
