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



Hi all,


Thanks for all your help. I now have a lot of new stuff to add to my slowly growing linux toolbox. Thanks for all your patience with us new guys; I've seen some Linux communities where this is not at all the case and it gives me hope not to have to return to Windows on my personal PC.


Keep safe and warm regards

If you just need part of a line, like a file name, you can use the numpad keys to move the cursor over the string and press the slash key twice quickly to select the text. Then it depends on which terminal emulator you use but most of them use Control+shift+c to copy the selected text to the clipboard. You can also copy an entire line to the clipboard by pressing the slash key 3 times quickly to select the entire line and then pressing control+shift+c to copy the selected text to the clipboard.

Good afternoon, list


Wayback when linux only had a CLI, Speakup was able to mark, copy and paste text from the terminal output. Now that I'm back on Linux for good, I find myself using the terminal for everything (almost everything), but is it possible to capture output from commands in the terminal? I'm using the gnome terminal if it makes a difference. I checked the manual, but I couldn't find any reference to this functionality. I would love to keep using the terminal so any help would be appreciated, please.
