It's in edsharp.cs in the edsharp folder. I recommend lots of pain killers before you begin...

Hi: Is that .net code? If so is it vb.net or csharp or what? Someone mentioned .net before but I am not sure about it. I am just interested a little to see how it was developed.

You -could- write code, but adding to a file of 12k lines with minimal documentation and horrible coding is kind of hard to do. I had to spend hours to get the thing to not take 30 seconds to start up. I like edsharp, but now a lot less so now that I've seen how the code under the hood works. It doesn't change that it is a good editor, just kind of shines and shows why the problems that exist do exist for me.

Hi Kerneels,
I'm unsure how you'd define the perfect text editor, but in my view, and I've put it through a lot of its paces, EdSharp is my editor of choice. 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. 

Thanks.

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.

Regards.
