Visual Studio Code – Accessibility Tool

Visual Studio Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Visual Studio Code has many features to help make the editor accessible to all users. Zoom and High Contrast colours improve editor visibility, keyboard-only navigation allows use without a mouse, and the editor has been optimised for screen readers.
