Screen-reader does not echo the characters I type on github copilot terminal #3993

Describe the bug

##Read back / edit what I type in the prompt

What I need: As I type in the Copilot prompt, my screen reader must echo the characters I type, and
let me review/correct/edit the input. Today I can't reliably read back what I've typed, so if I mistype
I can't tell, and I can't edit it — which makes composing prompts error‑prone and slow.

No response

Steps to reproduce the behavior

type something the terminal and try to read with left and right arrow keys, characters are either not read or read incorrectly

Expected behavior

Expected behavior:

  • Typing a → screen reader says "a".
  • The input line has proper focus so character echo reaches the screen reader first.
  • Standard line‑editing (move by char/word, backspace, review) is fully readable.
