[orca-list] Navigating through LibreOffice comments

[Paul Martz <skewmatrix gmail com>]

Hi all. New list member here. As Microsoft is forcing me off Windows 7, 
I've decided to move to Debian 10 with the Mate desktop. One thing I 
need to do is review LibreOffice Writer documents with comments. (Track 
changes, too, but let's keep this topic focused on comments.)

What I need to do is move quickly between the text comment anchor point 
and the comment itself.

I've found I can move between comments with control + alt + PageUp and 
PageDown. If I'm in the document text, these commands move between 
comment anchor points. If focus is in a comment, these commands move 
between the comments themselves. And if focus is in a comment, then 
Escape moves focus back to the comment text anchor point. But I haven't 
yet found a way to move from an anchor point to its corresponding comment.

I thought the LibreOffice Navigator would let me do this, but there 
appear to be some issues with Orca and the Navigator window. For 
example, if I open Navigator with F5, expand the comments, and arrow 
through them, Orca reads the comment text inconsistently. Also, with 
focus on a comment in the Navigator window, the context menu key doesn't 
function as expected - that is, it's not the context menu associated 
with the comment, as if Orca thinks some other object has focus. 
Finally, double-clicking on the Navigator comment text (with KP+Divide 
twice quickly) doesn't take me to the comment either.

LibreOffice claims to be fully accessible, but keyboard shortcuts are 
mostly absent from their documentation. For an Orca newbie like myself, 
reading about clicking and dragging and dropping in the LibreOffice 
documentation is frustrating. I have extensive technical writing 
experience and would be glad to improve the documentation, but need to 
learn it first. Any help would be appreciated.
