Hello,
In Text edit, one can count the spaces at the beginning of a line
by (a) enabling control-option-lock on VO, (b) putting the cursor
at the beginning of the line, and (c) pressing the right-arrow key
as one holds down the shift key. VO says "space" every time the
shift-Right-arrow key combination is pressed, which makes possible
counting the number of spaces before the first character.
*sigh*, I'm sorry, but yes I know this. That was what I was doing.
But the problem is that this is something you need to do a *log*. I
mean sometimes multiple times in a 5 minute period. when the numbers
involved are 12 or 16 or sometimes, in strange cases, more, it's
impossible to count and write the program you're trying to write at
the same time. It just takes too long to do.
