1. Create test.py with the following content:

x = 1
x = 2
x = 3

1. Locate your cursor at x and press Shift+F12.

Current Output

symbol in test.py on line 1 at column 1, x = 1

Suggested Output

x = 1 in test.py on line 1 at column 1

• Note: the word 'symbol' is not needed here.

Good feedback for references tree. I think this is a low hanging change in the AccessibilityTreeProvider.

@jrieken and @meganrogge While this seems a good chance for community contribution, accessibility issues and its impact need more attention than people think and must not be put on the back burner. This issue has been long-standing and not trivial, negatively impacting the productivity to those having to consume information via speech.

I agree @jooyoungseo - what github does not show you is that I had moved this to my planning category of my Github project so I will work on it soon

Thanks, @meganrogge ! I apologize if I was out of line. I had to act as an accessibility evangelist.

All good 😄 no apologies necessary
