Accessibility : folds should be identified by sound, similar to how breakpoints identified

[RichCaloggero]

One of the use cases for me when considering vsCode is to have a folding editor. This makes reading someone else's code far easier when using a screen reader.

However, it is currently not possible to identify a fold when moving through the file. I can initiate folding and when viewing my own code, I obviously know that a function that looks empty is "folded".

SUggest playing a cound when entering (and possibly when exiting) a folded region when accessibility mode is enabled. I noticed that breakpoints play a sound when the line containing them is reached; similar thing could be done for folds.

Thanx.

Interestingly, I opened an old js file I had around and I got a couple of different sonic icons.

• when I folded a function, it would tell me it was folded
• when I unfolded it, it would make a sound as I executed the unfold
• when I moved my cursor on a line with an object assignment ( object.foo = "something" ) it made a sound

THis was an old web project, so maybe things are different when operating on web projects; the previous comment was left in response to my examining a node.js project. I don't know why there should be such a difference; they are both clearly javascript...

How can I find a list of all earcons and their meanings?

Search for audio cues in the Settings to see the available cues or Help: List Audio Cues in the Command Palette.

There is

Audio Cues: Line has Folded Area
Play a sound when the active line has a folded area that can be unfolded.
