You know the view you get in the MySQL command line, where vertical lines separate all the columns and it can be really hard to track what’s what with a screen reader? I learned today that you can terminate a query with G (uppercase G), or add -E (or –vertical) when invoking mysql. This puts each field on its own line, as in field1: value1. It’s way, way easier to read with a screen reader. I wish I’d known this years ago.
