Bill Dengler (@codeofdusk) I know you use NVDA a lot, have you tried using JAWS? Or have you heard from any JAWS users trying to use Windows Terminal at all?
I'm kinda shocked that JAWS doesn't work at all. We should fix that. Does the vintage console host work? If it does, then it shouldn't be too hard to find the piece of console code we're missing in the Terminal that makes JAWS work.
FYI, I've managed to reach out to JAWS. Hoping I can provide some direct support to them. They are definitely aware of this issue and I've even forwarded them this GitHub issue. 🙂
Carlos Zamora (@carlos-zamora) should have fixed this in #12358, and confirmed that JAWS made the fix on their end as well. We're not sure exactly which version of JAWS the fix is in, but it should be in the next version of the Terminal.

Which version of the Terminal? Which OS version? Which JAWS version? I'm pretty sure JAWS is supposed to work... /cc Carlos Zamora (@carlos-zamora)

Sorry, no.
Graham Pearce (@Grahamwp) What happens if you try and run wt from the run dialog on your machine? Is the opened terminal accessible at all?

Windows Terminal 1.11.2921.0
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
OS Version: 10.0.19042 N/A Build 19042
JAWS Version 2020.2012.13 ILM
I have tried to use WT since the first beta without any success with JAWS.

There's also relevant documentation from Freedom Scientific but I wouldn't personally be able to further help with this on the JAWS scripting side.
