[orca-list] gnome terminal questions

[bart ursys com au]

Hi all,

I've been trying to make friends with gnome terminal.  We almost like each other :).

I've got a couple of questions:

I remember someone posted to the list explaining how to cut and paste from gnome terminal.  I've managed to 
figure out the paste but having trouble with highlighting text and then copying it.  Well, the trouble is 
with the highlighting really.  Any explanation of how to do this with Orca would be welcome.  I've tried 
using a left click and then moving the flat review cursor with no luck.

My second question is in regards to cursor or highlight tracking, not sure what it should be called.  For 
example in minicom the menus work well when arrowing up and down.  However when you try and exit and get 
presented with a yes no dialogue box it doesn't speak well at all.

Does anyone understand why this is?  

Are there plans in the future to support this sort of thing in terminal applications better?

What can be done to help?

Regards

Bart
