Description

Controls if sound and announcement signals are played when a file (or Notebook) is saved.

When "sound" is set to"always", the sound signal will play whenever a file is saved, whether by executing the File: Save command, using "files.autoSave": "afterDelay/onFocusChange/onWindowChange" or when the file is saved by any other means whatsoever, even when screen reader is not detected or "editor.accessibilitySupport": "off". When set to "never", the sound signal will never play even when a screen reader is detected or "editor.accessibilitySuport": "on". When set to "userGesture", the sound signal will only play when the user explicity saves the file even if a screen reader is not detected or "editor.accessibiltySupport": "off".

When "announcement" is set to "always", the screen reader will make the announcement whenever a file is saved, whether by executing the File: Save command, using "files.autoSave": "afterDelay/onFocusChange/onWindowChange" or when the file is saved by any other means whatsoever and a screen reader is detected. When set to "never", the detected screen reader will never make the announcement. When set to "userGesture", the detected screen reader will only make the announcement when the user explicitly saves the file.
