Description
Controls if sound and announcement signals are played in a loop when an ongoing action is in progress. Several things can trigger this signal like installing an extension or waiting for a response from Copilot Chat among other things.
When "sound" is set to"auto", the sound signal will play whenever an ongoing action is in progress and a screen reader is detected or "editor.accessibilitySupport": "on". When set to "off", the sound signal will never play even when a screen reader is detected or "editor.accessibilitySuport": "on". When set to "on", the sound signal will always play even when a screen reader is not detected or "editor.accessibiltySupport": "off".
When "announcement" is set to "auto", the screen reader will make the announcement whenever an ongoing action is in progress and a screen reader is detected. When set to "off", the screen reader will never make an announcement even when a screen reader is detected.
