Jahmal is no longer developing the application, and I haven’t moved off of it to something else. The functionality is too good when it works, but between the minor irritation of the blank line issue and the more frequent issue of JAWS hanging unless I enter the menu bar and exit the menu bar to return JAWS focus to the body of the document, I fear I may need to find an alternative sooner than later.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>First, are there any settings I should double check with JAWS before making a switch to get around this blank line problem?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Second, can anyone recommend a good alternative? I’ve tried Jarte, but that’s more of a word processing alternative. I want a good plain text editor that will allow me, for example, to assign quick shortcuts for text snippets I am likely to use often for things like writing code.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you kindly in advance!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Joe<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-ligatures:none'>--<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-ligatures:none'>Joe Orozco: Your Message, My Mission<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-ligatures:none'>https://joeorozco.com/services/<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
