Hi David,
I use Notepad++ for NVDA programming. And that's really what it's
designed for. You can choose your programming language and options
relative to programming.
Of course you can use it for a Notepad replacement. But I'm not really
sure what the benefit would be other than the fact that it's a
multi-document editor.
I am able to use it with Window-Eyes. Although it is a bit funky. But I
only installed it to use as a Python editor for NVDA. So I haven't
plowed through all the options trying to get it to work optimally with
Window-Eyes.
If you're looking for something between MS Word and Notepad there is
Jarte. It's basically an extended version of Wordpad that adds spell
checking and other features. And it is specifically designed with a
screen-reader support mode. I don't really use it all that much, so I
can't comment from the perspective of it being my main word processor.
There are free and paid versions of it. I forget the difference now, but
here's the homepage.

Does anyone here have any experience with the alternative Notepad
program, named Notepad Plus Plus?
I seem to remember users suggesting it for certain projects, back in
time. I now decided to just give it a short go. Got it installed, and it
opens just fine. WinEyes reads all the menus fine.
But whenever I try to write something, things seem to jam. Sure, the
text I am writing, does get spoken by the screen reader, since I have
the key echo set to words. But if I try to arrow through the text,
nothing happens. I can press the arrows as much as I want, WinEyes has
gone for his coffee break. And if I try the Ctrl-Shift-W, to have the
complete window read out, it reads the menu bar, but nothing of my
entered text.
Just wondering, is there any settings that needs be done - either in
Notepad Double Plus, or in WinEyes? Is there any set file for this
editor? Or, is this software accessible for blind usage at all?
Thanks for any feedback.
