I am totally blind and use JAWS screen reader with Visual Studio Code on Windows 11.
I am trying to use the CodeRoad VS Code extension to complete the freeCodeCamp CodeRoad lessons. The extension is currently not usable with my screen reader.
The main problem is that the CodeRoad lesson interface does not expose the controls I need accessibly. In particular, I cannot reliably access or activate
the button needed to continue to the next lesson.
I have also experienced problems with the CodeRoad extension loading correctly, the test runner, Docker Desktop, and the lesson interface.
I have tried restarting VS Code, reloading the window, reinstalling/reloading the extension, using different browsers, and troubleshooting the CodeRoad
setup. I have also checked the VS Code output and logs while trying to determine what is happening.
The accessibility problem prevents me from progressing through the lessons.
Expected behaviour
The CodeRoad lesson interface should expose all controls, including the button to continue to the next lesson, to screen readers such as JAWS. The controls
should have accessible names and be keyboard accessible.
Actual behaviour
The required controls are either not exposed correctly to JAWS or cannot be reached and activated reliably. This leaves me unable to continue to the next
lesson.

hi open docker desktop. then open vs code. then do control shift P and then type CodeRoad:Start. the tutorial starts. then lesson 1 is to then open the terminal in vs code with control grave. then terminal one then comes up. then type in echo hello terminal. then press enter. then it says command succeeded. then alt tab or control tab back to the code road web interface, then navigate to the run button, pressing space bar does nothing. pressing enter says code runner. and no next or previous buttons with jaws, nvda, windows narrator.
2. Click on '....'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error
Expected behavior
it should then say command successed when pressing enter on run and then expose the next button.A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
