Delay Inline Completion Audio Cues  #208449

Description

@marrej

TLDR: We got some reports that the inline suggest audio cues mask/annoy users when suggest dropdown is triggered, allowing users with screen readers to select when the cue should be played would be helpful.

Current state

Currently the inline completion audio cues are played right when the inline completion appears on screen. If a suggest dropdown triggers the inline completion, the alert cue is played at the time when the suggest dropdown is red. Causing annoyance and possible confusion for the users.

Proposal

Provide a optional setting for the inline suggest audio cues, that would allow to select when a cue is played.

  • When no suggest dropdown is rendered (playing audio cue, only if a suggest dropdown has been resolved and inline completion is shown)
  • Every time inline suggest is rendered (the current state)

This would allow the screen reader users to keep the audio cues, but decide whether and when they should be played.
