(I'd argue it does if they have a Braille display, but these things are expensive as we all know far too well..) > You can use tabs for indentation (or just pass your source code through > indent) and ask your editor to set them to a single space (for vim for > instance, :set ts=1 and :set sw=1) vim's cmode is pretty handy for that, but I wonder if it wouldn't be an irritant anyway because you wouldn't know the imdemtation level it automatically gave you that way. Vim sometimes does dumb things with its automatic indent if you put code in macros and the like. I always turn off auto indent when working with only speech because I can ask for the virtual cursor position if I need to, but I often don't because I know how many times I just pressed the tab key after pressing enter. -- "We are what we repeatedly do.
