[orca-list] LibreOffice and orca: moving to headings, links, tables etc.

[John J Herzog <johnjherzog gmail com>]

Hi all,

I'm working with a document in LibreOffice writer that has many of the 
same elements as modern web pages. Is there a way to use orca shortcut  
keys to move between different items such as links, bulleted lists, 
tables, etc.? I was hoping to take advantage of keyboard shortcuts in a 
similar way as can be utilized when running Chrome and Firefox. 
Unfortunately I am experiencing a problem.

On windows I can  use screen reader navigation commands in Microsoft 
word by switching from forms mode to browse mode, then using H/shift+H 
for heading, K or shift+K for links, etc. I notice with orca that 
pressing the orca modifyer + A does not toggle between focus and browse 
modes while inside LibreOffice writer. Consequently, every letter I 
press is written to the document I have open. I cannot seem to make the 
navigation  shortcuts function.

Is there a step  I'm missing?

Kind regards,

John
