What does notepad2 do? --le ----- Original Message ----- From: "John O'Regan" <john.a.oregan@xxxxxxxxx> To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 14, 2010 4:28 PM Subject: JAWS and Notepad2 Hello All, I was searching for ages for the perfect little text editor. And I thought I'd found it in Florian Balmer's excellent (and freeware!) Notepad2: http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html Just one slight problem... I can't get JAWS to read out selected text. Apparently, the culprit is Scintilla: a source code editing component. Rumour has it that there's a way round this restriction by way of a JAWS script. Problem is, I know nothing of the Scintilla API or JAWS scripting. Can anyone on this forum help me out? Any help or useful suggestions would be greatly appreciated, yours sincerely, John O'Regan. PS: Hope it's okay to cross-post. Shouldn't these two lists be merged anyway? But I'm the fresh meat.
