On your second question, I'd redirect the output of the command
to a file and then pull up that file in an editor. Something like
$ acommand > file.txt
would do the trick.
You could also use something like the script command which will
send all of the output to the screen to a file that you could also
pull up with an editor.
There are also applications like screen which give you more
functionality inside your terminal. I haven't used it myself in
years, but others on the list can help out.
Actually, for me personally, I use the shell buffer in Emacs, so
I have access to all of the editting power of Emacs when working
at the command line.

OK, so two things.
First of all, given the fact that in Firefox, and though I've
not tried, I'm guessing probably also Thunderbird doesn't read
with Orca at all when you try selecting a block of text with
shift+down arrow, or however you choose, what is the easiest way
to know what's selected, to be sure you're not getting too
little, or too much content before hitting CTRL+C to copy the
selection to the clipboard?
Also, in Gnome 3, with the terminal, let's say that I've typed
something, and I get an error which consists of a fairly lengthy
command I can type to try correcting the issue. Either that or
maybe there's just something in general from the terminal that I
need elseware. Does Orca give us the ability to somehow mark the
beginning of a text area of the terminal screen, then mark the
end, then be able to copy that block of text to the clipboard? I
know how to paste within the terminal with CTRL+Shift+V, and I
know about CTRL+Shift+C and CTRL+Shift+X to copy and to cut, but
that only seems to work with pasting.
I know a sighted person could drag their mouse over the area
they need selected, then could hit CTRL+Shift+C to copy it
within the terminal, but I've not been very successful at
finding a way to accomplish that with Orca.
Any help appreciated. Is there like a virtual viewer, or
something like what JFW in Windows has?
Chris.
