OSX code editors may not work with JAWS since they would be Mac based and would require VoiceOver. With NotePad++, you may need to install the Plugin Manager along with the PHP Automation. There's also a HTML Tag plugin and notepadtable (for table creation) plugin you may want to consider. There's other plugins available for other programs.

But if you don't want to install plugins, try brackets.io, it's what all the cool kids are using now. Here's a video on its use with JAWS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3aGVLHrdCI

The further you get into coding, the more you may want to consider Linux as a platform. Some things just happen much faster on Linux than they will on PC. Try joining the BlindCS (Blind Computer Science) listserv on nfb.org. There's a lot of coders on that listserv who would give you great recommendations.
