Accessibility help dialogs exist around the workbench - in the terminal, chat input, editor, and more. With focus in these areas, in screen reader mode, you can view them by pressing alt+f1.

Extensions, like the GHPR extension, want to contribute help dialogs. There is proposed API to allow adding this to a view via accessibilityHelpContent.

Add this for a view. When your focus is in the view, use alt+f1 and you should see the content that you've provided.

Remember to include: "contribAccessibilityHelpContent" in your "enabledApiProposals". Verify that it does not work if you don't include this.

Verify that when you provide keybindings in the format of <keybinding:commandId>, it's resolved or there's text indicating there's no keybinding with a link to configure. Verify the link to configure it brings you to the keybindings editor with that command id.
