[BRLTTY] Simple Linux console for visually impaired student

[rjaquiss at earthlink.net]

Hello Tom:

 

     Here are two ways I deal with Linux.

1.	I use a laptop running Windows 11. On that laptop, I installed wsl (Windows Subsystem for Linux). When Using WSL, JAWS works reasonably well for a screen reader. I have written a large Python program (1300+ lines). Depend on what I am doing, sometimes I use Windows Notepad or Notepad++ and other times I use the ex editor on Linux.
2.	If you are running a pure Linux laptop, you can install Orca and then easily press ctrl+t to enter the command line mode.

It occurs to me that if JAWS works with the Monarch that using WSL may allow the Monarch to display multiple lines of code. Hope this helps.

 

Regards,

Robert
