Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/9582

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Summary of the Pull Request

This commit introduces a few different announcements to the command
palette.

When you delete the >, it will announce that you have entered
"command-line mode". When you reintroduce the >, it will announce that
you are in "action search mode."

When you enter a nested command, it will announce that you are looking
at "more options for new tab..." or "more options for select color
scheme...".

When you search and find nothing, it will announce that there were no
matching commands (or tabs!)

References

#7907 -- I would like to add "10 results match" or something, but ... pluralization across different languages is utterly hellish 😄
