Description
There are a lot of new features added in VSCode's accessibility support to help blind and visually impared users to work faster. These recent additions include different sounds for different events, such as errors and warnings in the code, which is really helpful when a user can navigate to the line and hear the sound of an error. It would be really helpful if such things are added to Monaco's editor and if they can be configured later to the user's preferance.
