Re: [orca-list] Accessible console text editors

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

They are all accessible, but you say console, and for better or worse console or true command-line programs 
are best run 
in a true console, i.e. not in a gnome terminal, or other terminal emulator.
This being said, you can get fair results if you make sure your terminal emulator is maximized, at least once 
in a while  
I space out and forget I"m really in the GUI and type nano some file. 
I've not trie vim or ed in a long time in such a condition, preferring to use them in a real console with 
speakup. Nano 
works better there also also. 
I do more editing with these command-line editors than I do with gedit, mousepad and bluefish, but what I use 
is mostly 
task specific.
