Voiceover works just fine in the terminal app that comes with osx.
You can use text edit to write your code, just be sure to do a command-
shift-t first to convert your document to plain text, or else it will
be in rtf, and that won't work on the ruby interpreter.
The simplest thing though, is just to use an editor your terminal app
already has such as nano, (you know, the editor that is built into
pine). It works well enough for most things, and doesn't give you any
trouble with formatting, since it has no formatting features to speak
of.
just nano <file> (replacing <file> with the file you wish to edit) and
when you're all done, control-x will save the file and exit the
editor. control-o will write out the file if you wish to save it
before you're ready to exit.
That's pretty much it. It has search and replace capabilities, but I
don't use them much, and it has the added benefit of using plain
ascii, not UTF-8 as textedit does when saving in text format.

Hello All:
I’m taking a Software Projects class this quarter (the last class
before I finish my Bachelor’s Degree, yay). The object of the class
is to plan, design, develop, test and deploy a software project,
working on a team.
My project team wants to use Ruby on Rails for our development.
Here are some questions:
1. In studying a tutorial on ruby on Rails, it looks like I’d need
to work in the terminal application on my Mac. Does anyone have any
tips for easily doing this with VoiceOver?
2. Are there better, more voiceover friendly terminal apps I should
consider using such as iTerm? I downloaded and installed Go2Shell,
but it seems to just open a terminal window in the current folder.
3. What would you recommend I use as an editor to write my Ruby on
Rails code? I’ve seen references to Sublime and Textmate. Are any
of those accessible with VoiceOver? Could I use TextEdit for this?
Thanks, your help would be greatly appreciated.
