Pull request overview

This PR implements accessibility improvements for the File Explorer by automatically disabling compact folders when screen reader mode is enabled. The issue #204861 indicated that compressed folder display is confusing for screen reader users, and this change addresses that by overriding the explorer.compactFolders setting when screen reader optimization is active.

Key Changes:

  • Adds logic to disable tree compression when screen reader mode is enabled
  • Listens for changes to screen reader mode and dynamically updates the tree compression state

@dmitrivMS dmitrivMS changed the title Disable explorer.compactFolders when accessibility mode is truned on Disable explorer.compactFolders when accessibility mode is turned on Dec 23, 2025
