Hey all.
I've just committed a change to master to optionally announce when
entering and leaving blockquotes, lists, and tables. Details:
* Announcement is enabled by default, for both navigation and Say All
* Announcement of each object type is independent (e.g. you can enable
blockquotes, but disable tables and lists)
* Announcement during navigation is independent of announcement during
Say All (e.g. you can have blockquotes announced during navigation but
not when using Say All, and tables announced during Say All but not
during navigation)
* At this time, announcement during Structural Navigation is not
impacted by these changes. Thus disabling list announcement during
navigation will not stop Orca from announcing list details when L is
used to move to the next list. This is intentional.
* In order for this functionality to work, the application or toolkit
needs to expose the objects to us correctly. For example, LibreOffice
Writer exposes list items using ROLE_PARAGRAPH; not ROLE_LIST_ITEM. It
also fails to expose any parent container with ROLE_LIST. This makes
it difficult to reliably identify the start and end of lists, doubly
so due to other LibreOffice accessibility bugs. The situation is
similar for blockquotes. We aren't attempting sad, fragile hacks to
work around these LibreOffice issues.
I'm sure there are bugs. Please test. Thanks!
