GitHub uses Ace Editor. How well does their implementation work with screen readers?

I don't know to be honest. Give me a link where it is used? I will give it a whirl.

ehh... if you open a file on GitHub and click the edit button, the editor would appear. But I just opened it with a NVDA and heard nothing.

On another note, I just pushed another update. It adds ChromeVox support to Ace Editor. I dont know if it requires the use of Chrome with the ChromeVox extension or not, but I do know that it reads the text back to you.

If you run another composer update and republish the package assets, you should be able to test it out.

I think it requires the use of the ChromeVox Chrome extension. I just tried it again with NVDA and didn't hear anything new.

But then again, I have no clue how to navigate a web page with a screen reader. lol.
