Description

Is it possible to add the following sentence, including the link to the new accessibility resources created by micro:bit, onto the MakeCode Accessibility doc so that users can find them?

For videos and a downloadable pdf to help you learn how to use keyboard controls visit Micro:bit Educational Foundation’s MakeCode Accessibility support page.

We were hoping you could add it at the start of the Blocks editor section so that it reads:

The micro:bit MakeCode block editor allows you to use keyboard controls to create programs using blocks. For videos and a downloadable pdf to help you learn how to use keyboard controls visit Micro:bit Educational Foundation’s MakeCode Accessibility support page.

Many thanks

(This is in addition to the previous updates detailed in https://github.com/microsoft/pxt/pull/10697)
