interacting with the cursor:

[david poehlman]

Kenny,  What happens when you press delete?  does the character you hear 
when the cursor moves get deleted or does an adjacent character get deleted. 
same with insertion?

Hi.
Gnopernicus behaves the same as my text console screen readers.  It
doesn't have the review features of a console screen reader, but it
does speak chars as the cursor moves to them.  This is using gedit.  I
don't know of another accessible editor in Gnome at this time.
