Re: [orca-list] Copying terminal output with Orca

[Ari Moisio <arimo iki fi>]

Hello

Scripti does no  add anything into it's output but if one one uses 
full-screen software such as visual editors there are terminal control 
sequences byt the application.

Normal  CLI commands  do not usually use any control sequences.
