a few intro questions re: applications and voiceover
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 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.
