Hello Mani and florian,
@mani You are welcome. Yes, emacs has a difficult learning curve, its full
of shortcuts and features like vim. Emacspeak is a speech dispatcher which
interacts with emacs and gives auditory feedback. VS code is very much
accessible, though You need to use features of NVDA like focus mode and
browse mode. However I think many questions have been asked about vs code
in this group, so you can probably find the answers to your problems here,
and if not, you are always welcome to ask here.
@florian Yes I have tried emacspeak with wsl2. There is latency indeed, but
emacs is so fast in itself that the latency is significantly less than the
bluetooth headsets :)
I would like to stress the word significantly.
Please use emacs on terminal though, I find the gui emacs kind of buggy on
wsl.
emacs -nw
Best regards,
Soundarya

Soundarya,
Do you have experience with emacspeak within the wsl2 vm? How's audio
latency/crackle?
Thanks,

Hello,the
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
afterlist.
I am a retired software developer trying to get back to programming
decade11 years for the fun of it. After being a Mac user for more than a

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

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
