Re: [chuck-users] blind user

I find that using java mode does 99% of what I want with ChucK, so I put this in my .emacs file: (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.ck\\'" . java-mode) auto-mode-alist)) When you open a .ck file, you get all the keyword coloring and indentation you'd expect. I could get fancier and create some bindings that would pass an expression to a ChucK process from within a text window (I used to do that when I was doing Lisp development), but haven't found I really needed it that often. - Rob On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 11:18, Michael Heuer wrote:

Hello Robert,

Do you use a specific emacs mode for ChucK?

For ChucK , I've always used emacs as my editor and a terminal window for performance. I'm curious: why do people use MiniAudicle? And for our blind community, what do you wish it would do that a straight text editor and terminal window doesn't do? - Rob On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 09:39, Rich Caloggero wrote:

I am a blind user who has played around with chuck! Chuck is perfectly accessible via command shell in either linux or windows. The language is great and running programs is simple.

The GUI environment, mini audical, is another matter. I was not able to use it on Windows; have not tried on Mac or Linux.

I wonder if a rewrite in java using Swing UI classes would be feassible. This would probably give the most access, cross platform and with little extra coding. You do need to use Swing though, otherwise the code to

Would like to know if there are any other blind users of chuck besides myself and perhaps talk to them offlist so as to not spam the list needlessly.
