Hi all,

I’m new to the list and  this is my first post here.

Please excuse me if my question is off topic.

Currently, my job requires me to use cent OS on IBM power PC. And  I’m having a
nightmare editing files using SSH on remote server.

The issue is when I press down arrow the cursor goes to next line,. But the
screen reader still reads out the last line.

Just let me explain.

Let’s assume

We have following lines in a text file

Line 1

Line 2

Line 3

When I Press I, I’m on the first line.

Press down arrow, goes to next line (line 2), but still reads out line 1.


If you press I in vim, you are in insert mode.
If you press escape you should be able to move with the arowkeys.

Press down arrow again, goes to third line (line 3), now it reads out line 2.

Press down arrow, already on third line. I Hear the bell and it reads out the
third line.

So far, I tried these things.

   * Used built-in SSH client of windows 10
   * Used SSH in WSL in ubuntu

This is Windows, what screenreader are you using?

   *    installed Debian 10 as dual boot and  tried SSH

What screenreader are you using on linux?

   * Used different editors text VI, VIM and nano

Everything has failed. Could someone please help me out?

Or just point me to right direction.


In other words, please list the screenreaders that  you are using on
Windows and linux.
