[NFBCS] EdSharp and Alternative Text Editors

[Yadiel Sotomayor]

For text editors, I and others swear by notepad++. VSCode is a great IDE, but it might be a bit to much if you are just doing coding on occasion. For text snippets you use often, I highly recommend Text Expander by Smile Software. Only reason why I'm not currently using it is because I cannot install my own software at work. It is one of the tools that kept me as a Mac user for longer than was advisable. It is now on windows, and they take accessibility feedback seriously.

Hi,

I’ve had this annoying bug with EdSharp where I can’t fix it so that JAWS ignores blank lines between paragraphs. 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.

First, are there any settings I should double check with JAWS before making a switch to get around this blank line problem?

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.

Thank you kindly in advance!

Joe
