Are you using a braille device or speech?

With a braille device, you can use brltty for reading gnome-terminal:
the usual cut&paste shortcuts should then work.

For this, just run:

WINDOWSPATH=7 brltty -b ba -x as

in your X session, i.e. brltty on VT7 with the BrlAPI driver for having
braille output through the regular brltty, and the AtSpi screen driver.

Note: the "WINDOWSPATH" name will probably be renamed into "WINDOWPATH"
in future brltty versions.
