+# VSCodium Smoke Testing Plan
+
+## Objective
+
+To ensure NVDA functions correctly with VS Code or other VSCodium derivatives across typical user workflows.
+This plan focuses on basic navigation, file operations, editor accessibility, and common development tasks.
+VSCodium is based on Electron and as such smoke testing can reveal issues with the framework.
+
+## Areas Covered
+
+* Application launch and window navigation
+* File operations (open, save, close)
+* Editor accessibility
+* Command palette and search
+* Extensions
+* Terminal
+
+## 1. Application Launch and Window Navigation
+
+### Steps
+
+1. Launch VSCodium
+1. Verify NVDA announces the VSCodium window title
+1. Use `ctrl+shift+p` to open the command palette
+1. Use `f1` to open the command palette (alternative)
+1. Use `ctrl+b` to toggle the sidebar
+1. Use `ctrl+shift+f` to focus the Search panel
+1. Use `f6` to navigate between sections of the window.
+
+### Expected Results
+
+* NVDA announces window title and major UI regions
+* Navigation between panels and tabs is clear and consistent
+
+## 2. File Operations
+
+### Steps
+
+1. Use `ctrl+n` to create a new file
+1. Type sample text
+1. Use `ctrl+f` to focus the Search panel
+1. Use `ctrl+s` to save, enter a filename, and confirm
+1. Use `ctrl+o` to open an existing file
+1. Use `ctrl+w` to close the current file
+1. Use `ctrl+shift+t` to reopen a closed file
+1. Use `ctrl+n` to create another new file
+1. Use `ctrl+tab` to switch between open files/tabs
+1. Use `ctrl+shift+e` to focus the File Explorer
+
+### Expected Results
+
+* NVDA announces file dialogs and file actions
+* File operations are accessible and confirmed by speech
+
+## 3. Editor Accessibility
+
+### Steps
+
+1. Type and navigate text in the editor using arrow keys
+1. Use `ctrl+home` and `ctrl+end` to jump to start/end of file
+1. Use `ctrl+f` to open the find bar and search for text
+1. Use `ctrl+h` to open the replace bar
+1. Use `ctrl+z` and `ctrl+y` to undo/redo
+1. Use `ctrl+shift+\` to jump to matching bracket
+1. Use `alt+upArrow` and `alt+downArrow` to move lines up/down
+
+### Expected Results
+
+* NVDA announces line numbers, text, and search results
+* Editing and navigation are accessible
+
+## 4. Command Palette and Search
+
+### Steps
+
+1. Use `ctrl+shift+p` or `f1` to open the command palette
+1. Type to search for commands (e.g., "toggle word wrap")
+1. Use arrow keys to navigate results
+1. Press `enter` to execute a command
+1. Use `ctrl+shift+f` to open the search panel
+1. Enter a search term and review results
+
+### Expected Results
+
+* NVDA announces command palette, search results, and command execution
+* All command palette and search features are accessible
+
+## 5. Extensions
+
+### Steps
+
+1. Use `ctrl+shift+x` to open the Extensions panel
+1. Use arrow keys to navigate available extensions
+1. Use `tab` to move between extension details and actions
+1. Use `enter` to install or enable an extension
+
+### Expected Results
+
+* NVDA announces extension names, details, and actions
+* Installing and managing extensions is accessible
+
+## 6. Terminal
+
+### Steps
+
+1. Use ``ctrl+` `` to open the integrated terminal
+1. Type commands and review output
+1. Use `ctrl+shift+\` to create a new terminal
+1. Use `ctrl+tab` to switch between terminal and editor
+
+### Expected Results
+
+* NVDA announces terminal focus and output
+* Terminal operations are accessible
