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

[Matt Dizak <matt dizak gmail com>]

Yep, go into Orca settings and you'll see a tab for key bindings.
Within the bindings there's one for copy while in flat review.

Assign a keyboard shortcut to that binding.  For myself, I have Insert+C.

Now while in terminal, just hit the dash - key on the keypad and Orca
will say "Entering flat review".  Now you can navigate through the
terminal by using the keypad:

7 and 9 = up and down one line
4 and 6 = left and right one word
1 and 3 = left and right one character

Scroll to the piece of text you want (ie. database field) hit your
copy keyboard binding, and it'll be in your clipboard.

Hope that helps,

Matt
