Effortless editing with Speakup

Well I got my slackware booting on the hard drive, but I now have a new
problem. I'm having a terrible time editing files. Cursor tracking in 1.10
seems to be really flaky.

I've had a shell account on many different machines, so I know several UNIX
editors a little bit, but I know none of them well. I need to master one so
I can use it automatically, and I want to know which ones work well with
speakup.

I tried pico, emacs, Joe and Vi (Vi seems to have morphed into something
called Elvis) and with all of them I had trouble using even basic commands,
because Speakup would sometimes know where the cursor was, and sometimes
not. This is of course using numpad star to toggle cursor tracking on.

So maybe the problem is that I have to adjust a console property or
something. If that's the case, we could start a different thread. Or maybe I
just need to master the right editor.
