Hello,
Welcome to the group.
Vim does not work with nvda, in fact even it does not work with orca to a
reasonable extent as far as my experienced with linux is concerned.
If VS code is suffitient for your current use case, I would recommend it. It
works really well with nvda.
Also if you have tried emacs then there is a wonderful way to get it
accessible, with the help of emacspeak.
WSL2 can help in using it on windows.
Regards,
Soundarya

Hello all,
I am sorry for not introducing myself prior to posting some emails to the
list.
I am a retired software developer trying to get back to programming after 11
years for the fun of it. After being a Mac user for more than a decade I
decided to learn NVDA on Windows and slowly get myself back into programming
Python. I used vim when I was sighted years ago and wanted to go back to it.
I quickly landed into issues:
1) NVDA speaks some number along with every character I
I type. I thought it was the column number but it does not seem so.
2) After insert mode I type Esc to issue some : commands and it does not seem
to work. I end up having to kill vim to get out of it.
My questions are :
1) Does vim work well with NVDA? If so, are there some pre requisites to
follow like configuration changes?
2) Should I just forget vim and resort to a more NVDA-friendly Python editor?
And which may they be. I was thinking of EdSharp but look to other
suggestions from you.
Sorry for the long post. Thank you.
Mani
