Accessibility with debugger
I am a totally blind user using a screen reader. I can navigate many parts of IntelliJ, but what i can not navigate is the debugger. I can't see for example if a line has a breakpoint installed, and other information that the debugger presents. As a result, I have a couple questions:
First, is there a way to enable accessibility so I can determine where breakpoints are, for example? I have accessibility enabled, but I don't know if I need to do something else.
2. If the answer to the first question is no, how can I go about doing this? I dont' mind submitting a pr, although I don't know how this information would be conveyed via the Java accessibility API. Alternatively, I could write a plugin of some kind. Any tips/information on this would be great. I use Java full-time at my current job, and having a debugger would make a huge difference in my workflow.
Thanks,

Hello,
You can read gutter icons and line numbers in the editor by pressing Alt + Shift + 6 and F simultaneously. Please see https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/accessibility.html#gutter_icons .
Let me know if this is not what you need.
