Jaws screen reader

[gomaltao]

Windows Terminal seems to be totally inaccessible with the JAWS screen reader.

Which version of the Terminal? Which OS version? Which JAWS version? I'm pretty sure JAWS is supposed to work... /cc @carlos-zamora

@codeofdusk I know you use NVDA a lot, have you tried using JAWS? Or have you heard from any JAWS users trying to use Windows Terminal at all?

[codeofdusk]

Sorry, no.

@Grahamwp What happens if you try and run wt from the run dialog on your machine? Is the opened terminal accessible at all?

Windows Terminal 1.11.2921.0
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
OS Version: 10.0.19042 N/A Build 19042
JAWS Version 2020.2012.13 ILM

I have tried to use WT since the first beta without any success with JAWS.

I closed the issue by misstake.

I can confirm this is the case with Windows Terminal version 1.11.2921.0and the latest version of JAWS, 2022.2110.36.400.

I'm kinda shocked that JAWS doesn't work at all. We should fix that. Does the vintage console host work? If it does, then it shouldn't be too hard to find the piece of console code we're missing in the Terminal that makes JAWS work.
