This is expected ATM, but an understandable request. Most of the terminal commands do not apply to the terminal accessible view because it is readonly. From a pragmatic standpoint, I can see that we should support this. Related to
If you try this command with command palette instead of the shortcut key, this works.
when I focus the accessible view and invoke clear from the command palette, focus is lost
Oh, I just realized that is now deprecated. It works if you change that to
I think it makes sense to make that work by default in the accessible view when in screen reader mode.
To verify: enable screen reader mode find what keybinding is assigned for focus a terminal, run some commands - apply the keybinding it is cleared
