Re: [orca-list] Copying a link to be e-mailed, I emmed, etc.

Yes, while in Firefox, just hit the application key and arrow to the
Copy to clipboard option.  One note here though; this feature is
currently broken with Firefox 4.0 beta right now and I filed a bug
accordingly.  But this definitely works in older versions of the
browser.

BTW, you can also do this from an application running in the gnome
terminal.  In that case, just move flat review over the http text and
then use KP+* key to right click and one of the menu choices will be
to open link and another to copy to clipboard.

To answer your other question about identifying the actual address of
a link, just hit the Orca+KP_Enter key twice and that will read the
status bar; that should contain the target address of the currently
highlighted link.
