Hi everyone,
Have you all found a text editor and/or compiler that works well with JAWS. I'm currently using VIM that works okay, but I thought there might be something more Windows based like Microsoft Visual (think that's the name). I've been using notepad and then cut/pasting the code into the compiler.
I don't like having to use the HJKL keys to move up/down in VIM since it seems to mess up JAWS. I'm currently writing C++ code, but will be moving on to C, JAVA, and PERL.
A second question: when writing C++ code, how do you all format it, specifically the blocks of code nested in other blocks? For example, when you are writing a series of if else statements. How many spaces do you indent this portion of the code? Also, do you indent the opening and closing braces or just the code between them? I can explain in more depth if needed.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Tara
