Re: [orca-list] Selecting Text in the Terminal

I'm not likin' the fact it seems to work for others but not here.  I
want to know something though.  Is the bit with using flat review to
select text subject to any other Orca options? It truely isn't working
here.  Once or twice I managed to copy some text from the terminal but
the process is so unreliable, I can't use it at all.  Is there
anything in gnome-terminal I should be looking for? I'm using the
latest git pull of Orca from Yesterday 11/6/2009 and Gnome 2.28.1 on
an Arch Linux system.  I find it hard to believe it to be a problem
with gnome-terminal or my distro but why it seems to be working for
others...

I never got answers to my other questions; are there any items that I
should hear spoken while doing the text selection? this might help me
track down the problem here.  After some selection attempts, it seemed
that some text was selected because I got the copy option to show up
in the edit menu under terminal but when I subsequently pasted the
clipboard, it was always empty.  Also in these situations, pressing
the keypad-enter key would say "selected" but no text included.  I
think 1 or two times out of about 30 attempts, I actually got
something into the clipboard but with it so unreliable, no bueno.

Hi,
Instead of just shift+slash try ctrl+shift+slash. It works for me.

Nah, sure broken here <sigh>.  I used to be able to use this in
versions past on other distros but haven't done this in quite some
time.  I don't have to set anything up in advance, do I? The only
thing I notice now is when I press the slash key to begin the
selection, I usually hear nothing spoken; then when I get to the end
of the block to select, I press shift slash and I will hear "Paste
grayed shift-control-v."  After that, if I go to the edit menu, there
is no option available to copy the selection.  I also have no selected
text spoken when I press the kp_enter key either.

If this actually works for you, what prompts or text gets spoken when
you go through these steps?  Also, I notice that if I press slash with
or without the shift enhancement at the end of the selection block, I
hear that same text I mentioned earlier; it's like no difference so
I'm getting suspicious of the shift slash key combo.

Has anyone been able to select text in a terminal with Orca
lately? What I tried to do was position the flat review cursor
(mouse pointer) over the left most character and press the keypad
slash key to left click it. Then move over to the right most
character and do a shift-slash to complete the selection. At that
point, I would hope to have a selection on the edit menu to copy
the text. Also, if I would press the keypad enter key, I would
expect to hear the selected text. But the key never speaks any
selected text and the copy option is never shown in the edit menu.
This all makes me think the text selection feature is now broken
in Orca or something changed. I can cut/paste just fine from other
gnome apps and I can paste previously copied text from any other
gnome app to the terminal and paste with gnome-terminal but I
can't select for copy any text in the terminal with the above
described procedure.

Any thoughts?
