[NFBCS] Command Line Editors

[Steve Jacobson]

Haoran,

As you can see, there is seldom only one answer to computer questions.  Jack has described the three most obvious options very nicely.  One thing I would suggest would be to find out if there is a recommended approach being used for other members of your class.  If the approach that is recommended is accessible, using that same or a similar approach means you might be able to get some support from your classmates and teacher.  Good luck.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Sorry for not being specific on my original email.
I have a mac and windows pc and will SSH into the linux machines remotely.
So I can use voiceover with the terminal applicaiton on macs and am
planning on using windows subsytem for linus on my PC.

I have not used NVDA before but will try it out to see if that works better
than JAWS.

Thanks everyone for your help.
Haoran
