Re: [orca-list] Python code editor

Sorry... Adding these lines to .emacs and trying all other options fails to start emacspeak. Any other ideas?

Hello Andy,
sorry to look blunt, but really should read the answers already given in
this thread.

We have stated several times that there is no emacspeak command, rather
you need to edit the config file ~/.emacs (hre that would be
/home/didier/.emacs) to automatically start emacspeak when typing emacs,
then just type emacs, *not* emacspeak.

As I already posted append these two lines to ~/.emacs
(package-initialize)
(load-file "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/lisp/emacspeak-setup.el")

Then just type emacs, *not* emacspeak.

sudo apt-get install emacspeak installs, but typing emacspeak returns "emacspeak: command not found." Looks 
like I will try another editor.

Just saw this message and thought I would give a quick response.

yes yu can actually type emacspeak and have emacs as well as emacspeak
start together.

This works on my Ubuntu machine (18.04) with emacs 25.

Just do a sudo apt-get install emacspeak and see for yourself.

Happy hacking.

You don't type emacspeak.
You edit your .emacs file first and then you run emacs itself.
emacspeak is an add-on for emacs.  Specifically the line:
(setq emacspeak-play-emacspeak-startup-icon t)
needs to be in that .emacs file.

This doesn't work. Typing sudo apt-get install emacspeak installed everything
needed except emacspeak itself. Typing emacspeak results in a command not
found.

Krishnakant Mane has made an archive of emacs config file and packages
for python development. I would like to share a note he had sent that
has the link to download the archive and a link to his blog about Emacs.

"""

Download the file from this link :-
https://cloud.disroot.org/s/HiwMfYbK2anRaQH/download

Paste this file in your home folder.

Then right click on it (Mate users can press shift + f10).

Now select the option extract here.


Now get the following things installed.

sudo apt-get install git and hit enter.

Once this is complete, you can start emacspeak like this.

alt+f2 then type emacspeak and press enter.

Note, you can press Alt + Super + s to stop Orca speaking because
emacspeak speaks on it's own.

Once you are in emacs, you can use the following commands for getting
started.

note: C stands for Control key, M stands for Meta (meaning alt key ).

So C-x C-F means Hold the control key down and press c followed by f.

This will give you a chance to either create a new file or open an
existing one.

Make sure you press f12 for the ido mode.

This mode remembers your last location when you restart emacs.

M-w is for copy text and C-w is for cut.

C-y is for yank meaning paste.

if you wish to select some text, go at the beginning and press C-space
and then move to the end of the block that you want to be coppyed.

Now use the copy or cut commands.

Delete will actually delete the selected portion.

Once you open a .py file, Emacs automatically starts the python-mode
with smart auto completion, automatic bracket and parenth completion and
several other features.

C-e b will read entire buffer.

Here? buffer means one window of information.

Note: Emacspeak also announces indentation level for blind users which
makes writing code in Python very easy.

There is a blog I had written about emacs. Please find the link below.

Happy hacking.

You could try geany.

Or emacs or vim (or gvim).

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.
