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

[Jon <j orcauser googlemail com>]

Hi,

What do people think about a shortcut key that would flat review the 
screen, and then bring up a window with a text area, in which the flat 
review text would be found.
Then the user could select how much or little they wanted, and paste it 
where needed. This way we havent played with the clipboard.


I currently have a small patch that flat reviews the screen, and copies 
the text to the clipboard.

This of course works for any window, not just terminal.
