I was using BitBucket in Chrome and browsing a file which I don't do very often. I was struggling to get VoiceOver into the actual file contents.
And then I heard something about enabling screen reader mode by pressing - I think - Option+F1.
And it then starting saying this:
To configure the editor to be optimized for usage with a Screen Reader press Command+E now. - Pressing Tab in the current editor will move focus to the next focusable element. Toggle this behavior by pressing Control+Shift+M. - Press Command+H now to open a browser window with more information related to editor accessibility. You can dismiss this tooltip and return to the editor by pressing Escape or Shift+Escape. dialogue
But I'mnot sure I can get any of that to actually work. WheN I press Cmd+H it switches applications. I can't get the message to reappear with Opt+F1.I didn't find that pressing Cmd+E did much either.
I find Atlassian services a total pain to use - Jira and Confluence being much worse than Bitbucket. And they've never seemed to respond to feedback about this kind of thing. I'm guessing they are using a third party code editor plugin but I was curious if anyone has had any luck with this?
I also wanted to capture it for posterity in case I never manage to get it back again!

Also had something similar in AWS
I was trying to do something with Cloudwatch Insights in the Amazon Web Services console and also got told to press alt+F1 for accessibility options. Sadly it didn't do anything this time but I guess it must be a feature of some of some text editor components.
Pretty sure it was also alt not option that I was told to use in bitbucket, and in that case form then on it used command not control, so bit of a mixed message as to whether anything is supposed to work on the Mac or not.
