Comment (by FolioVision):

 Thanks for your wishlist @zersiax!

 We can agree that the editor exposed to screen reader users - if we are
 going to beyond plain text - should have the following features to be an
 improvement over plain text:

 * Autocompletion
 * Quick navigation through the code (guessing this should be a next and
 previous <n-tag>
 * Syntax errors available (a keystroke to hear about them)

 There wouldn't be controls in/around the editor out of the box as this is
 a custom editor but if such controls exist in the final CodeMirror
 implementation of course they should turn up in the screen reader editor.
 Thank you for the reminder.

 The next step now would be to find existing good implementations of those
 three features, either online or in an offline editor.

 You wrote:

 > I haven't found any code editor, off or online, that does all of this,
 and I'm genuinely not sure if the web is the platform to build the first
 such editor on.

 Would it be possible for you to give us a list of the code editors which
 do at least one of those features (and which ones) well so we could see
 the existing best prior art? Or if you cannot, perhaps you know some other
 experts who could give us such examples.

 Thank you very much for providing much needed front line expertise on the
 screen reader code editing experience.
