Enable Narrator on Windows. Start typing in PowerShell: dir
Currently, it reads: d, di, dir
Some users who type long command lines prefer not to read the entire line (this is reported by customers). Instead, they prefer it reads: d, i, r.
Narrator (and other screen readers) read what is sent to the console, so one option is to have a mode that doesn't re-render the line. This will have some side effects like not correctly supporting coloring, but this is opt-in for the purpose of screen readers so should be fine.
