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.

Jim

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.

Regards.
