Hello,
I have had issues with the latest version of Code Runner. It is not very usable now. I am unable to move around in the editor with arrow commands. All I can do is use VoiceOver movement commands to do anything. For example I need to press VO plus shift plus one of the arrows to move character by character. I am not sure if this is a code runner issue or if this is a Big Sur issue. One of the best editors for python on the Mac is emacs with emacspeak. However it has a very steep learning curve because of its commands.
