Re: [orca-list] Python code editor



Oh, I just noticed, the xed text editor is only the default on Linux
Mint, and not pre-installed on Ubuntu.  Not sure, but you may want to
try that.  I use it for both, PHP and Python development, and might
not meet all your requirements, but it's good enough for me at least.

Has auto-indent, although defaults to tab = 4 spaces, but that can be
changed in preferences.

Support multiple open files, and you can change tabs with Ctrl+1 - 0,
depending on the tab number you want (eg. Alt+3 for 3rd tab, etc.).
Plus works with Orca, just make sure to change your Orca settings to
speak indentation.

Not sure about auto-complete, but their web site says there's both,
plugins available and optional Python support.  I've never been big on
auto-complete myself.

Then standard Ctrl+N for new file, Ctrl+O to open file, Ctrl+S to
save, Ctrl+W to close.  Personally I would like Sublime back, but
unfortunately that simply doesn't work with Orca at all.

Hi,


I am putting a little time into learning Python. What editor/IDE is
accessible with Orca? I tried Pydev with Eclipse, but the text editor
seems to have a11y problems. I also tried VSCode published by Microsoft.
Unfortunately, it doesn't even launch in Ubuntu 18.x. Pluma and Gedit
work just fine, but I want autoindent/autocomplete features along with
project management features. Emacspeak seems to work, but controlling
the default voice that comes with it seems impossible, and I never
figured out how programming languages worked in it. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
