To all who developed vim for mac. I am a blind software engineering student and have been struggling to find the right coding environment. I tried macvim last week on counts of my friends recommending it, and once i turned core text renderer off, though visual mode is not accessible to me, all the other key commands do, which has really increased my capacity to navigate around code lengthier than 500 lines. The experience is like jumping from a physical dial nokia to the iphone 5S. This is awesome. And the more commands i learn, the better it gets. thank you guys for this application.
Now on for a few comments, haha :) 1-voice over related: I've noticed that when reading through lines, vim does not read out the last character, such as ; for endss of statements. It's not too bad as i can just $i then check if the closure is there but i thought i would mention this. 2-When (i assume) the text reaches the bottom of the visible area, vim has some difficulty scrolling further down. I use the /'string' command to jump around, but when i'm in a block of code but it happens to be at the bottom of the visible area, then either the up/down arrow or j or k get clunky. To note, the system alert sound triggers so i'm assuming this also happens to visual coders. Am i doing something wrong here? Apart from the above, everything is smooth. Obviously, i'm not a power user yet so my requests might not be technical, but this might help for other blind coders out there.
