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

[Al Sten-Clanton <albert e sten_clanton verizon net>]

I suggest using Speakup with the terminal if you can, including using 
Vim or Emacs or pretty much anything else you'd use by way of the 
terminal.  Orca's a great program, but I almost never use it in the 
terminal except to run my speakup script after booting up and loggin in. 
 I often find that I get more information, or at least get it more 
easily, when on the command line in a text console using Speakup than 
when using Orca in gnome-terminal.

I'm not faulting Orca, by the way.  I think it's a problem with the 
graphical terminal, since I see it using the Windows command line with 
JAWS.  Many times, I don't hear much output from a command using the 
command prompt on the Windows box, and sometimes none at all.

Hope this helps.
