Description

Controls if sound and announcement signals are played when a screen reader attempts to read Inlay Hints on a line that does not have them. You can force a screen reader to attempt to read Inlay Hints with the Read Line with Inlay Hints command. You can execute this command through the Command Pallete or by setting a custom keyboard Shortcut since it is not bound by default.

When "sound" is set to "auto", the sound signal will play whenever a screen reader attempts to read a line with Inlay Hints but none are available a screen reader is detected or "editor.accessibilitySettings": "on". When set to "off", the sound signal will never play even when a screen reader is detected or "editor.accessibiltySupport": "on". When set to "on", the sound signal will always play even when a screen reader is not detected or "editor.accessibilitySupport": "off".

When "announcement" is set to "auto", the screen reader will make the announcement whenever it attempts to read a line with Inlay Hints but none are available and a screen reader is detected. When set to "off", the screen reader will never make the announcement even when a screen reader is detected.
