Can you add a link to the relevant section of the user guide, and change the wording to improve readability?

Has 1.18 landed with this change in it? |
|
Why was this PR closed?
It hasn't yet landed, but 1.18 will include the terminal-side changes. |
Is there a public reference for this?
This was auto closed because the target branch was merged (which is weird, normally it would re-target beta). |
|
it's weirdly not letting me re-open or re-target this PR. When will 1.18 land? I don't think this will make 2022.4 unless 1.18 will land in the next month. |
|
Once a public ref lands, might that help you? |
|
Yes that would help |

Hi @seanbudd, Hope this helps: microsoft/terminal#14179 (comment) I've been working on it for some time now. It's not a difficult change, I've just been caught up by some random other work that comes out of nowhere. Hope this serves as a good enough commitment. 😊 |

I think In-Process may be a better way to communicate this.
As this feature has not been introduced on the terminal side yet, and the 2022.4 translation freeze is over, this PR can no longer make 2022.4

Closing this PR. The work appears to be abandoned by MS |
Link to issue number:
Follow-up of #14021.
Summary of the issue:
New "review by page" scripts were added to NVDA, but their utility in Windows Terminal is not immediately apparent.
Description of how this pull request fixes the issue:
Update documentation and what's new.
Testing strategy:
N/A (no code changes).
Known issues with pull request:
I imagine that these commands will also work in an upcoming (23xx) version of Windows Console (
conhost), but with the switch towtby default in Windows, this probably isn't worth noting.Change log entries:
