Wow, I can’t believe I had not heard of this. I would love to review the code though I am trying right now to figure out how to manage a couple of things in NVDA.
So in terms of VI and VoiceOver the move by word commands are the most verbose. And of course the OV movement does not effect the actual cursor position. curses is a the default library set used by UNIX systems to enable full positioning of text and cursor throughout the terminal screen. I believe it also has functions to change text colors. This library package was very important in the early days of UNIX when most interaction with the Operating System was via dumb terminal. If you were on a terminal that did not have the ability to move the insertion to the top (or at least UNIX’s curses library did not know how to do this), then you could either use the EX editor which is essentially the commands that vi uses at the : or you could use vi in non-curses mode. In this mode any change is written out to the screen one line at a time. I would expect there is a way to specify doing this with vim, or the easiest way I used to do this was by setting the TERM environment variable to dumb.
