Re: [orca-list] Confidential diary/journaling with Orca and Ubuntu 18.04



Yes, I think that's true, and I think it's a Libre Office issue and not an Orca issue. I havn't really used Libre Office and Orca in this way though, so I don't know for sure, but once it's worked out, then it'll be another option, at least in my opinion.

Actually, I have been told that in Libreoffice, there's an issue where structural navigation doesn't actually work correctly with anything aside table navigation with Orca. I'm not sure if Joni's gotten this fixed in the latest master or not. I don't believe she has though, and I'm not in front of my Linux laptop right this sec where I can test it out.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. For example, use a heading 1 for the year, a heading two for the month and a heading three for the day. Now to jump from heading to heading, just turn on structural navigation and use an 'h' to jump from heading to heading, or a '1' to jump to each year, or a '2' to jump to the next month. Like I said, I'm familiar with this in MS Word and JAWS, but I'd think the same thing should work in Libre Office and Orca.

Christopher,


When you say hierarctical navigation, what exactly by that do you mean? Are you speaking of doing like you'd do in firefox in browse mode, by hitting H for heading, etc?

Personally, I use Org-mode in Emacs with Emacspeak for this, but I know it may not be an option if you don't consider Emacs a graphical application.


Another option, could be Libre office using heading tags and hierarchical navigation with Orca. This will greatly reduce the number of files you'll need. I do this with MS Word and JAWS on my work machine. I think I've read though that there's a problem with Libre Office and hierarchical navigation with Orca right now though.


A mark down editor might also fit the bill, but I haven't gotten into using one myself yet. Maybe someone else can provide some options or tips.

So, I really need to get back into journaling. I won't obviously go into the specifics, but there are some things which I've been battling with now for several years, and quite frankly, it's time that I finally get my thoughts out in writing to help with the healing process.

So, firstly and foremost, my question to you all is, is there a particular package I can get with a graphical interface that works well with Orca which you all know of which specifically is a diary/journal application? I'd want something that would be searchable obviously, or something allowing me at the very least to log the date of the entry, then later be able to navigate easily to a particular date which I want to either read or edit.

I'm totally, before anyone says anything aware that Librioffice-Writer would do wel for this to some degree.

I've never quite liked using a word processor though for journaling, as I've never really consistently been able to come up with a format for separating entries. I've tried putting each entry in a journal folder giving each entry its own file, and letting the file name basically be the date, but that's a bit clunky. I've tried putting a horizontal line all the way from the left margin to the right to separate each entry, then below that line, writing the date of the following entry, but even that seems to me a little clunky.

For searching purpose, I just don't know the best way to really go about this. That's really the main reason I want an actual diary based package.

If you all think you may know a more neetly tity workflow, I'm opened to your suggestions.

Also, would like a way to be able to password protect the journal from prying eyes.


Chris.
