Fwd: [libreoffice-accessibility] Shortcuts on a document opened in Writer.

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.

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.
