[nfbcs] UltraEdit

[Steve Jacobson]

Joe,

I am using UltraEdit 14.10 and also used 14.0 with Window-Eyes and have not had the problem you are having.  
However, it is my understanding that people with JFW are using it as well.  I can make several suggestions, though.

First, go to the view menu and uncheck all extras on the screen.  These are like other view menus where you press 
ENTER and you leave the menu altogether but the status of the given item has been changed.  Most of these will be in 
the views/lists submenu.  I am not saying you can't have any of these on, only that at this point we don't know which 
might be causing you problems.  Second, see if you get different results by pressing INSERT changing from INSERT 
mode to overtype mode.  This changes the cursor.  If JFW tracks the overtype cursor but not the INSERT cursor, you 
can change the appearance of the cursor on the Tools/Configuration menu.  This is a very large menu, and you can 
type "cursor" into the "navigate" edit box and you will be taken right there.

Given the problem that someone else mentioned about UltraEdit adding characters and the problems you are having, 
you could also check out NoteTab Pro at 

http://www.notetab.com

because that is another very good alternative.  I switched from that to UltraEdit for reasons unrelated to HTML, but you 
might have better luck there.  When I switched, I didn't like the user interface of NoteTab as well as UltraEdit's.

I would definitely urge you to find and successfully use at least one mainstream editor to try just so you get a feel for the 
features that are out there and what the accessibility issues are.  Also, certainly contact Jamal as suggested because he 
may either not be aware of the problem you had or he may already have a workaround.  Let me know if you have any 
luck with UltraEdit or if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
