Thanks for the thread link. I think the reduction of indents to a single
character is a bit off. My "blinky" friend suggested that it would be good to
have a hot key that read out the indent level. He knows his stuff, a senior
level developer that has been blind for over a decade now.
Is anyone looking for a new project? Probably not a huge market but certainly
a good cause.
