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

[Hendrik Steyn <groothendrik steyn gmail com>]

Hi all,


Thanks for all your help. I now have a lot of new stuff to add to my

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
