NVDA For VS Code Version 20.0

This release contains fixes around text ranges and offsets used for better codecompletion. The feature prevents VS Code reading entire line from the beginning after every completion. Once the logic behind handling focus of the text editor and caret events gets sorted out, there are ways to make it better.

Important notes:

  • The add-on is primarly targetting NVDA 2019.3 or newer, but has no specific code that should prevent it from running under 2019.1 upto 2019.2.1
  • Do keep in mind that you need to place focus on the code editor, which is a textarea found on websites or web e-mail clients.
  • If NVDA will be too verbose while reading out code completion, such as announcing items as treeviews - switch to desktop and place focus back inside the editor or use NVDA-key+Space combination.
  • If you scroll back to a previous line and then place the cursor at the end of it the last inserted item or occasionally the entire line will get read when in fact you will move to a new line.
  • I switched to year.number numbering scheme.
  • While working on those fixes I started working on fixes to the VS Code itself.
