Hi,
Just an FYI in case you didn't happen to know. There's a command line
switch for Notetab Pro which you have to run once in order to get it into
accessibility mode. I don't remember what it is off the top of my head but
it is in the documentation, or I think I might have just googled Notetab Pro
and Jaws. There's also a blind user switch in the preferences dialog box
you can check. I use Notetab Pro all the time for writing notes and so on
but have not yet investigated using clips to run Python scripts, so not sure
how well it will work. Plan to play with it some soon.
BTW, I'm mostly going to lurk here. Although I'm teaching myself Python now
I'm an experienced programmer in Perl, C, Cold Fusion and a bit of Java.
Maybe try to offer some help from time to time.

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
