Jeff,

VS is not accessible? That's the first time I hear that.

If you would have stated this to me back when .net 2.0 was around, I would
agree. However, Microsoft has invested tremendously in the latest IDE. I
have no problem using it with JAWS or NVDA.

You can also send a smiley face or a frowning face to their support team.
They will get on top it so quickly. I did that with the 2017 installer and
to my surprise, the answer was less than 12 hours.

Subject: [WebAIM] accessible code editor / IDE

For many years, I have done client-side coding in Visual Studio Express with
the aid of ZoomText Magnifier/Reader. Soon, I will stop using ZoomText in
favor of JAWS, but I am stumped what to use for an editor and IDE. Visual
Studio is only partially keyboard accessible, so I doubt that I can use it
once my eyesight is too poor to use a magnifier to compensate for keyboard
roadblocks.

Has anyone recently reviewed editor accessibility? I may be willing to pay
for a tool.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
