Hi,


My apologies. I'm forwarding the below reply (minus extraneous headers), which was originally meant to go to the list. I only realised after sending it that the replies go to the sender, not the list.

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Shortcuts on a document opened in Writer.
Date:   Mon, 13 May 2024 14:00:42 +0800

        

        



I have the Navigator turned on, but this isn't helpful when trying to navigate within a table - eg between columns or rows etc. It just gets me into the table and NVDA reads off the whole lot, whereas I'm trying to get around within the table without affecting the contents, and the table navigation commands NVDA provides, are actually moving cells in Writer - eg Ctrl+Alt+up to move up within a column to previous row, Ctrl+Alt+down arrow to move down within a column to next row, are moving the cells in Writer, which I don't wish to do. Putting the document into Read-only mode is also no help, as I can't access it at all. Trying to assign a command in Writer has also just left me confused, even after consulting the online Help. I don't understand what category I'm supposed to even select in the Customise dialog if I were searching for and/or assigning a shortcut. Browse mode needs to be given far higher priority, I would suggest, and the benefits would flow on through other applications, as has already been alluded to in the tickets raised for this issue.

Hi. With NVDA, How can I use the key shortcuts to move along a writer document? Commands like H to jump over headers?

I don't know whether this is supported - it isn't in Linux, which is the environment with which I'm familiar, due to LibreOffice limitations.

However, I just use the Navigator in LibreOffice, and I don't miss the screen reader navigation commands. Having the feature as part of the application is better, in my opinion.

NVDA's browse mode indeed currently doesn't work with LibreOffice, and would need work in both, LibreOffice and NVDA to make it a reality.

As Jason writes, LibreOffice's own navigator can be used as an alternative for now.
