Re: [orca-list] getting started and introduction

[Thomas Ward <thomasward1978 gmail com>]

Hi Tyler,

I do the majority of development in the Gnome text editor, Gedit, with
Orca. I edit my source in Gedit and then use gcc/g++ etc to compile it
in Gnome Terminal. I've found I don't really need any special text
editors, IDEs, etc for development. Although, I will say Emacs with
Emacspeak does make a decent combination if you want a decent editor
for C, C++, and Java.

Cheers!
