I'm having a terrible time editing files. Cursor tracking in 1.10 seems to be really flaky. I've had a shell account on many different machines, so I know several UNIX editors a little bit, but I know none of them well. I need to master one so I can use it automatically, and I want to know which ones work well with speakup. I tried pico, emacs, Joe and Vi (Vi seems to have morphed into something called Elvis) and with all of them I had trouble using even basic commands, because Speakup would sometimes know where the cursor was, and sometimes not. This is of course using numpad star to toggle cursor tracking on. So maybe the problem is that I have to adjust a console property or something. If that's the case, we could start a different thread. Or maybe I just need to master the right editor. --Debee
