<p class="MsoNormal">It appears to be very similar to RStudio - i've seen it described as something between RStudio and VS Code. I am hoping it might be more accessible than RStudio. In my early testing most page elements seemed to be readable, but i struggled
to get anything done since focus jumped around a lot for reasons i don't understand. It is still under development and by no means a final product. In any case, for those of us who were hoping for improved RStudio accessibility, Positron may or may not end
up being a better bet. I am keen to hear what others think.<o:p></o:p></p>
