Sample document with a few headings that can be used to reproduce the issue
SUMMARY
The current development version of Orca introduced support for structural
navigation for all apps (not just web documents). commit:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/orca/-/commit/1a10f8c5c738d0cedb2c82a85f14724d23af6f99
However, while jumping to the next heading in LibreOffice using that feature
works reliably in a GNOME Wayland session, it only works "sometimes" in the
current development version of KDE Plasma (Wayland).
It turns out it doesn't work when the same key is pressed twice (or more often)
subsequently without waiting for some time (e.g. a few seconds) in between they
key presses.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. build and run the current development version of the Orca screen reader (
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/orca )
2. start the GTK 3 version of LibreOffice using `SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3
libreoffice --writer`
3. open the attached sample document containing three headings (or simply
insert a few headings into a new Writer document instead)
4) press Orca_Key + Z to enable Orca's document mode (structural navigation
mode) (Orca_Key is usually Keypad_Insert or Insert); Orca should announce
"Document mode"
5) press H to jump to the next heading
6) press H a few more times without waiting in between
7) wait a few seconds
8) press H again
OBSERVED RESULT
The first time that H is pressed, focus jumps to a heading.
On subsequent times, a literal "h" is inserted at the current caret/cursor
position in step 6 instead of jumping to the next heading.
In step 8 (i.e. after waiting), focus jumps to the next heading as expected.
EXPECTED RESULT
Jumping to the next heading should work in step 6 as well, i.e. it shouldn't be
necessary to wait a while before pressing H again to jump to the next heading.
