Screen reader users can not see the cursor movement, so please provide some audio queue Audio queue could be

  1. a small sound so that user can understand cursor has moved.
  2. label of book mark as audio .
  3. line no as audio
  4. read the content of the book marked line as audio we can create book mark setting so that users customise the above four .

We can find accessibility mode is enabled or not by checking texteditor > Editor Accessibility Support in vscode settings.

The small changes that you do to your code will greatly improve the lifes of the people, who are in need of them. Thanks.

Hi @balajip881 ,

Right now, VS Code does not provide APIs for extensions triggers audio cues. There is an open request (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/175986), and I’ll be looking at it for updates.

Thank you for your suggestion.
