Re: [orca-list] How to copy pieces of text from a gnome-terminal window



xclip is one of them but not the only one.  Has anyone researched
clipboard applications and found which are most compatible with orca?

Hi Jude,


Many thanks for this really fast response.


Please, what do you mean with "clipboard application"? Have you got examples
of such apps in mind please so that I could grab for them on Google or
elsewhere?


In other situations, when I need the input associated with the output it
produces, I also use the "script" app (cf. man script).


However, there are still some situations when I cannot determine which exact
part of text I need before the command output is complete.


Many thanks. have a nice day. Chris D

yes, you use a clipboard application and run it inside the terminal to
save your text to the clipboard then copy it elsewhere.
You can if you know in advance you'll be wanting to save part of a
document run the command to bring it up on screen and add to the end of
that command | tee savefile.txt where savefile.txt saves what happens when
you run that command.  If you do | tee -a savefile.txt and savefile.txt
already exists you'll append to savefile.txt.

Hi all,


If the portion of text I'm interested in is a command I just typed, I can
edit
the .bash_history.


If the text I want is a large piece of output, I can redirect the output
and
errors of the command before submitting it and then edit the resulting file
to
select the wanted text and copy it.


If the wanted text is part of a whole session, I run the commands I want in
a
screen session with logging turned on.


But is there a way to select text directly from inside the terminal window
and
copy it please?


Many thanks in advance. Have a nice day. Chris D
