I know many may complain about #NVDASR and its terminal support, But hear me out: It's not as bad as Mac OS.
* On Mac OS, using QuickNav with VoiceOver and reviewing with VO +Control + left and right arrows word by word land you in different parts of the text getting reviewed.
* To select chunks of text to re-paste (such as when Git tells me an exact command to enter), I do: Command+A to select terminal contents, text edit paste it, then find the bit I need to use. (update: use VO+Command+Enter)

in reply to Tamas G • • •IMO "lazy to fire up TDSR" shouldn't be a thing if you're doing anything in Terminal on the Mac. I'd either recommend setting up an alias or straight up making it start up automatically.
I also have an activity set up that silences VO in the terminal automatically, if I actually need it for some reason, I can switch back with VO + x twice.

in reply to Tamas G • • •With VS Code, you don't want to be doing much interacting, use it like you'd use a Windows app.
It's one of those programs whose keyboard accessibility is good enough on its own that you rarely need Voice Over's help, and the Voice Over cursor slows you down more than it speeds you up in this instance.

in reply to Florian • • •@zersiax That's gone, it was actually caused by Chromium, as most VS Code accessibility bugs on the Mac are.
Even when the bug was present, you could still use the "start selection" and "end selection" commands (I may be misremembering the names). They're mapped to hotkeys because of this exact Mac bug as far as I know.
They're still useful occasionally, particularly when you want to select and use some code navigation features and/or indentNav.

in reply to Tamas G • • •Yes, Hammerspoon is somewhere inbetween AutoId and NVDA addons.
Essentially AutoID / AutoHotkey, but with nice APIs and a sensible programming language.
