Describe the bug

The "Show Accessibility Help" command (Alt+F1) provides a list of keyboard shortcuts for control of accessibility features, but not all these do what the help promises:

To configure the editor to be optimized for usage with a Screen Reader press Control+E now.

🐛 NOT WORKING

CtrlCmd+E is the default keyboard shortcut for the "arduino-for-find" command.

Pressing Tab in the current editor will move focus to the next focusable element. Toggle this behavior by pressing Ctrl+M.

🙂 WORKING

Ctrl+M is the default keyboard shortcut for the "Toggle Tab Key Moves Focus" command.

Press Control+H now to open a browser window with more information related to editor accessibility.

🐛 NOT WORKING

Ctrl+H is the default keyboard shortcut for the "Replace" command.


I didn't find commands providing the functionality mentioned for the non-working keyboard shortcuts.

To Reproduce

  1. Press Alt+F1
    A pop up will appear that contains the following text:

    Line 1, Column 1 in a pane of a diff editor.

    • To configure the editor to be optimized for usage with a Screen Reader press Control+E now.

    • Pressing Tab in the current editor will move focus to the next focusable element. Toggle this behavior by pressing Ctrl+M.

    • Press Control+H now to open a browser window with more information related to editor accessibility.

    You can dismiss this tooltip and return to the editor by pressing Escape or Shift+Escape.

  2. Press Ctrl+E
    🐛 The "Find" interface opens.
    🐛 There is no sign that the IDE has been optimized for usage with a screen reader.
  3. Press Ctrl+H
    🐛 The "Replace" interface opens.
    🐛 A browser window containing more information related to editor accessibility is not opened.

Expected behavior

All functionality mentioned in the accessibility help to work as it claims.
