Summary

Screen reader (accessibility) on Windows, not tracking cursor

Expected Behavior

Screen reader can track characters that I type, or read the prompt line that I'm typing, or read chars when I move around the prompt I'm typing

Actual Behavior

Screen reader does not "see" chars as I type them. Claude Code used to have this bug too but they fixed it. Can we fix here? Would love to help test screen reader accessibility.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Start typing text.
  2. Read the current line I'm typing. Screen reader does not see it.
  3. Move left/right to arrow over the prompt. Screen reader does not read the chars.

Additional context

Testing with NVDA screen reader. The AI CLIs are amazing for accessibility because they are just text! So I think cmdc could be usable too. Thank you!
