[NFBCS] Jaws and shell scripts

[Currin, Kevin]

This may be helpful for using jaws with PuTTY:

I personally use cygwin for ssh and other terminal activity. I sometimes use terminal editors like emacs or vi, but I generally prefer to use notepad or Edsharp as my editor locally and then to copy the file over to the remote server. That gets around the cursor issues that jaws and NVDA sometimes have with using editors in the terminal.

As Tom pointed out, windows 10 has ssh built in, but you need to install the ubuntu windows 10 app.

Hello Tracy,

While I have not programmed since 2015, The SSH windows client SecureCRT "https://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/", works well with JAWS.  This will give you VT100 access to Linux.  Using the Linux "screen" program, you can make as many sessions as you wish.  VI is a text editor and works well with SecureCRT which works with JAWS.  Note that you will have to experiment with the Linux cursor to get it to blink as fast as possible so that JAWS can find it.  You may also have to experiment with the shape of the Linux cursor so that JAWS can find it.

In 2015, JAWS had trouble finding the Putty cursor.  I believe that Vispero is now interested in Putty.  You can ask Vispero about this.

I'm talking with my boss about ways to get out of the backwater we're being swept into.  One possibility is to learn how to write scripts that run on a server to move files around.  He says he uses Bass shell scripting and VI editor for the work.  He also says he uses Putty, which I remember is a kind of terminal emulator and has Jaws scripts.

Do VI editor and Bass shell script work with Jaws, if anyone knows?

Thanks.

Tracy
