Zahra, please do not call it a Ribbon, that is a completely different
proprietary Microsoft desktop API that we steer away from.
As implemented in LibreOffice across all platforms--as part of our MUFFIN (My
User Friendly & Flexible INterface)--the Notebookbars are alternative user
interfaces to our traditional Menus and Toolbars. They also complement our
Sidebar deck and its context menu GUI.
The underlying controls are common--so current lack of exposure as accessible
events is an implementation issue. And that will have to be corrected before
the MUFFIN Notebookbar(s)--there are five currently--are removed from their
experimental status probably at the 6.0.0 release.
Otherwise the F10, F6 cycling of <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed"
title="RESOLVED FIXED - NotebookBar not accessible with F6"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=102059">bug 102059</a> has been corrected. And normal
keyboard navigation with TAB and Cursor movement between notebookbar widgets
functions correctly, and tooltips are present on mouseover or for use with AT
when exposed.</pre>
