Re: [orca-list] how to select text when in gnome-terminal

[jose vilmar estacio de souza <vilmar informal com br>]

I find that if you click three times in a line, it can be copied, and if 
you click two times in a word it can be copied too.
The problem is to copy more than one line and more than one word.
Thanks.
