Hello all,
I recently got my apple a couple weeks ago, and have been hunting for  
a few solutions to give me the functionality I had on windows.
First, I'm a full-time coder, what time I don't devote to anything I  
code for a hobby. I'm looking for a good, accessible editor; any  
ideas? I'd specifically love something that would announce indents  
when working with python. Beyond that, I just need a good editor.
Second, I tend to mud quite frequently and would like to find a mud  
client that I can easily use with the ease that I could use mush and  
Jaws. I realize that I will probably have to learn new commands, new  
ways of doing things, but I'd love to have a client that I could use  
easily and efficiently. I love pkilling, so I need something that I  
can function quickly with.
I tried a few muds, tintin, udwalker, and atlantas. I love tintin, but  
voiceover still seems ot have issues reading things in the terminal,  
especially when using screen. It also announces two blank lines  
between each new block of text, which gets annoying because the blank  
lines aren't actually there. Mudwalker looked ok, but it ffroze the  
whole system when you input half of the URL. Atlantas looked the best,  
but there's an issue with it reading. It looks as if the input box is  
separated from the main box, so the idea would get voiceover to read  
the output box like it reads the shell window in terminal.
Branching off of this, is there a workaround to get voiceover to  
properly work with screen?
Last couple questions, I think. I frequently listen to audio books  
when I'm not coding or mudding, but I haven't managed to find a player  
that allows me to jump around if it's a long book. Any idea if there  
is something out there that plays ogg/mp3 mainly that will allow this?  
I like cog, but it has issues jumping around.
Last, sometimes voiceover will randomly announce row <number> expanded  
when that row doesn't need to be expanded or wasn't as far as I know.  
Any way of fixing this?
Lastly, I'd love to get into programming for the mac. I already know c+ 
+ and a few other languages, so developing apps shouldn't be to far  
off. Is there an accessible editor that will allow me to use coco? I  
found a tutorial on xcode, but after getting to placing controls, it  
was drag and drop from one window to the next, and I couldn't find  
another way to insert controls.
Sorry for all the questions, answers to any of them would really be  
appriciated. I'd like to just toss windows and put linux on that  
laptop, but I need to obtain the proficiency in what I like doing with  
the mac before I can do that. I've switched to everything else, just  
haven't managed to find everything that I need.
Tia,
Tyler
