Now there is the voice of experience for ya!
I hadn't even considered that JAWS would employ an audible sound scheme
for columnar input /output!
This is fun!!

: You might want to look into Ed Sharp, an editor written by Jamal Mazrui,
which has many functions. I think you can find it at
: www.empowermentzone.com/edsetup.exe
: . If I didn't give the correct address, go to
: www.nonvisualdevelopment.org
: and look around.
:
: Many blind programmers, especially if they are using braille displays, use
two spaces as the standard indent amount. JAWS and Ed Sharp can announce
indent levels, and there is also a musical sound scheme for use with JAWS
for indicating indent level.
:
: I have recently been looking at some log files with the UltraEdit text
editor. I set Window-Eyes so that, when pressing down-arrow, speech only
reads from the cursor to the right. By setting the cursor to the correct
column, I can hear event names, then look at the left side of the braille
display to see at what time they occurred, if I am curious. There are many
ways to increase efficiency, but I don't think two braille displays would be
one of them.

: 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
