I’m really enjoying the accessibility now that I have it on. There’s just one issue, the editor. When you backspace code, or delete blank lines, for example, VoiceOver will not read them, which is pretty bad for a code editor in particular. I haven’t been able to find the page with instructions on how to enable it when Googling; perhaps on this page there is instructions to fix this issue with the editor? Thanks for that bit of help though, it’s a lot more accessible than before, but still not quite there yet—it reminds me of Google Docs Editor under Safari, for example.
