Re: [orca-list] Selecting text in Ubuntu 11.10

You can also just count the lines and get reasonably close. There's also
a key sequence in Vinux, Orca+r that reads the contents of the clipboard
to you, so between this and a little line counting, you can get
reasonably close pretty quickly. Unless a similar key stroke has been
picked up by Orca, you wouldn't have this option on Ubuntu 11.10.
