Re: [orca-list] does somebody know accessible C++ IDE for gnome

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Hi,

Eclipse is the most accessible graphical  IDE in Linux.  Its cdt 
environment works quite well and is designed for c++ development. Having 
said that, there is a trailing second place choice.  It's called 
Anjuta.  It's Gnome's own IDE and is gtk+ based.  It does have some 
holes in its accessibility though.  Don't waste your time with the 
wxwidget-based IDE's like Codelite and Code::blocks because they all use 
the Scintilla widget which is inaccessible. Same goes for Geanny.  The 
QT-based KDevelop is reputed to be an excellent IDE but I have never 
tried it out to tell you its accessible state.  Last I checked though, 
it wasn't possible to edit text in a qt-based application so, I would be 
greatly, if pleasantly surprised to find out that an Orca user can code 
in one.

A non Orca choice for coding is Emacs with Emacspeak enabled.  You may 
want to look into that as it is probably the true best and most 
accessible development application in all of Linux.  Probably not so 
good for Rad in gtk+ though.

Best of luck,
Alex M
