Hi guys, Thanks for the input. @Peter -- yes, I could run a Debian VM atop OS X just as I do today on a Windows laptop but that just feels so wrong. With OS X a Unix-based OS it would be really cool to actually have first-class access to the console without having to rely on a VM for heavy command line lifting.
I think I first reported terminal accessibility to Apple back in 2009 so maybe it's time to do so again. :) Garry On 11/14/13, Peter Durieux <pe...@digileuven.be> wrote: > Hi Garry, > > Just a quick note, I just use a vm with Debian wheezy and brltty to do all > my console tasks. > terminal is accessible, but jumping to cursor position is missing for me as > well. > > Looking forward to what the mavericks guys here will tell us :) > > > On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 09:55:14PM +0000, Garry Turkington wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Looking through the list I see several people are using the OS X >> terminal on a regular basis.
