Unfortunately it is the behaviour that LibreOffice has decided to have.

We are all grateful for your praise.

We wish you the best in your efforts.

It is unfortunate, but it seems you will have to use one of these apps to do
the work you are doing.

> alt with arrow keys does not work for me or if it works, my screen reader
> does not read anything for me!

Yes it didnt work for me either unfortunately, which was sad, but is a bug in
the screen readers i believe.

> is there any setting that i should change in order to alt with arrow keys
> support diacritics?

It is supported in LibreOffice, but not in the screen readers.
