smile, now you see I like some features of Jamal's ed sharp, especially the block select option, but my main text editor is jart, works out of the box with screen readers, controls are all right there in the menu's, has its own spell checker built in! is fast and easy to use, and though it has a good amount of features, I don't feel over loaded by it

Second choice for me is NoteTab or NoteTab Pro if you want to spend the $29 US. I'd recommend that you do that if you use NoteTab. It has extremely powerful features. But EdSharp talks better out of the box, because it was written for people who are blind. And you can spend the time to customize it the way you want it to work if you are willing to write code that hooks into it, because it offers you most of .Net to play with.

Sent: Friday, November 26, 2010 4:02 AM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Quest for the Perfect Text Editor Hi list, I'm looking for some great programmer's text editors that are compattible with NVDA and/or JAWS. Since the latest NVDA seems to have some significant improvements over previous versions, I was wondering which text editors might now also become compattible with NVDA. It would actualy be a good idea to setup a few pages with tables comparing how well each editor works with all the diferent screen readers. Such a comparison database would be a great idea for a one stop refernce for many kinds of applications, but I thought the most important one for a programmer is definately a good text editor. Would other members on this list be interested in and/or willing to assist in compiling such a database? I think it could save a lot of time and effort for all of us if there could be a one stop database with profiles of useful applications, categorised by the job they perform and how well they perform that job. To start off, it could be limited to apps useful to programmers and text editors in particular.
