I go temporarily blind at various unpredictable times, so I'm not 100% in the non-visual bucket, but I am sometimes. (Simplifying grossly).

I find next to no difference between vim, nano, and Sublime Text for useability under a screen reader. You can focus, grab menus, issue macros, all the same.

For the most part, the reader won't jump back to re-read something to you, unless you ask it to. But you can make it jump between real panes and text panes in much the same way.

(There can be a little configuration involved, for both curses and graphics based applications, depending on your reader, but it's generally a one-time setup that someone else has done first.)
