Re: [orca-list] Orca and terminal text editors

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

Use Speakup in a second (third, fourth, ... Nth) console/terminal for
character based apps.

More elaborate answer:

You may want to learn to use screen as your terminal, at first for its scroll
back capacity. This is a powerful console terminal application with many
compelling features.

If you go to emacs, you may want to learn emacspeak.

You can have all the above plus Orca in your graphical desktop. Simply
move among them as needed.

Best,

Janina
