Hello Jim,

Consider also AkelPad:
http://akelpad.sourceforge.net/
It's basically like Windows Notepad, but somewhat smarter: it can save
indent  level, work with UTF-8 without byte order mark as well as with
other encodings, and more.

      Hi Richard,
I will take another look to see if I can do anything about this
editor. I also noticed that another recommended editor is Notepad++,
and JAWS doesn't work well with that one either. So far for me, as far
as Python is concerned, EdSharp seems to work best. I'm talking about
editors that have better capability than Notepad. Although, maybe with
a slight amount of working with its clip language, NoteTab Pro will
work well. That program costs $39, if anyone wants to spend the money
on it. I tried Notetab Light, the free version, with JAWS 14, and it
did not work well at all, no matter what I tried. I could give it a
try with JAWS 15. If anyone on this list uses NVDA or Window-eyes, I
could try those, to see what works and what does not.

Another one, called SciTe, kind of looks promising, but you have to
set JAWS up to use its highlight color. Once you do that, you can then
begin to slowly customize the editor to the way you like to work by
working with its profile settings, which come in plain text files.
There is something of a learning curve with this editor, but you may
be able to start to write profile settings that are helpful. But of
now, it is mostly EdSharp for me. If I choose to dig in and learn some
of its features that use JScript or VBScript, I may be able to get it
to automatically grab Python help. But I'm not even promising myself
that I can do that soon with everything going on with me right now.

Thanks.

Jim
