Resize table columns via the keyboard

A new command, list.resizeColumn, enables you to resize columns by using the keyboard. When you trigger this command, select the column you want to resize and provide a percentage of the width you want to set. The following video shows how to apply this to resize a column in the Keyboard Shortcuts editor.

Screen reader support for synthesizing chat responses

We’ve updated the accessibility.voice.autoSynthesize setting to enable screen reader users to opt in to hearing chat responses announced by our synthesizer, instead of getting aria alerts.

Debugging improvements

When you’re debugging with the focus in an editor, invoking the Debug: Add to Watch command now announces the variable’s value for screen reader users.

Additionally, the Debug accessibility help dialog was improved for better thoroughness.
