  "textContent": "Notepad++ the extremely popular open source text/code editor that was previously only available for Windows has now been released on the Mac!\n\nI saw some blind folks on Mastodon commenting on this so thought I would give it a try and so far it all seems quite accessible with VoiceOver. I'm on holiday for the next couple of weeks so might not use it a great deal until I am back at work, but I am curious to know how it stacks up so will be certainly using it for some things.\n\nMy main editor of choice these days is BBEdit which seems quite good, and I use Smultron sometimes, and TextMate for very specific things. I do like having a selection of text editors available. It didn't seem that long ago that I couldn't find a decent editor on the Mac and now we seem to be getting some choice at long last.\n\nI used to use it all the time on Windows in the days I wasn't thinking about things like screen readers. It was a touch ugly but otherwise a very fast, simple and capable tool and was my raw text editor of choice for many years.\n\nIf anyone on here gives it a go, please share your thoughts.",
