Hello everybody,

I am a researcher from the IDEA Lab at the University of Michigan. We are
conducting a research study to understand how blind, low-vision, visually
impaired (BLVI) and deafblind developers customize VS Code and use VS Code's various accessibility features.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to complete a short survey and share your experience and customization preferences with us.

Link to the survey: https://blvi.dev/discoverability-survey

To take part in the survey, you should have used VS Code previously and have some
proficiency with programming.

We thank you in advance for your time and valuable input!

This research is approved by the University of Michigan’s institutional review board.

I like this research direction. Not sure if a lot of work is done on customisation workflows of BLVI developers. All the best!
