1.I am a screen reader user, create a command for "go to active break point" . This command will help me in quicker navigation while debugging. Also show in key board preference panel so that i can attach a key board shortcut.

  1. While on break points view , . I can move through breakpoints by pressing down and up arrows while going through the break points, Give me some audio hint when i am on active or current break point.

Where would your focus be when you invoke Go to Active Breakpoint and would it focus the breakpoint in the editor or the breakpoints view?

When debugging, if my focus is in the editor and I focus the breakpoints view, my focus moves to the active breakpoint.

Can you describe your workflow with reproducible steps so I can understand your experience and how these might help?

let say b1,b2,b3 are the break points current focus is in editor press f5 editor focus go to b1 let say keyboard short cut k1= focus on break points view

press k1 and it goes to current active point try pressing up and down arrows few times in break point tree view go to editor NOW pressing k1 is not going to active brak point, and we will have to remember current break point else there is no way to detect current break point if we moved in the tree view until we run again by pressing f5r f10 and other step into out commands. If we press f5 command again command to focus break points view will focus to active breakpoint, but if we move up and down in the break points view we loose the current break point SO WE NEED some to detect current break point, It could be playing some short sound when focus comes onto current breakpoint while going through the breakpoints tree view. Also we can add a command like "Reveal current breakpoint"similar to command "Reveal active file in the file explorer"
