[NFBCS] VoiceOver on Mac with Python

[Kevin Fjelsted]

Another VO programming editor option that works very well with VoiceOver after extensive accessibility support was added by Boris Dušek <https://dusek.me/> is TextMate by MacroMates https://macromates.com <https://macromates.com/>
 which will show the indent column number directly if desired.
