Hi, Actually, Orca does a pritty good job in gnome-terminal. Speakup behaves better, but Orca can cope with most situations as well. But scince you're familiar with console text editors, why don't you try them with Orca and see for yourself? About Macintosh, look at: https://github.com/tspivey/tdsr -- Best wishes, Zahari Janina Sajka via orca-list wrote: Sat, Apr 15, 2017 at 12:02:07PM -0400
Well, to develop Al's theme a bit further, I've also found the Macintosh Terminal virtual unusable with Voice Over. In fact I've used my Linux virtual machine on my Mac Airbook to ssh into the osx environment on that same machine for terminal access on Macintosh. And, in my home environment, I sse from my Linux system to my Airbook for any command line work on the Mac. I guess the bottom line is if you really want to work on the cli, get a cli screen reader. Best, Janina Al Sten-Clanton writes: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.

So far, I am really pleased though I have not yet dug into the OS or Orca. Would someone on list please advise on the accessibility/usability of terminal text editors such as Vim and Nano with Orca? Or would it be better to use these apps with something like SpeakUp?
