If you use gnome-terminal,y ou can cut & paste error messages from your
terminal window into your google search field. Or for eample, you are
editing your dhcp config files with gedit, you can display your MAC
address and cut/paste it into the config file.

I've never understood why anyone who relies on a screen reader would attempt to use terminal apps with Orca and the Gnome Terminal.
I understand Windows users have no choice in their environment, or Mac
users either. But, on Linux a simple Ctrl-AltF[2-6] and you have a
superior enviornment for terminal apps with a screen reader native to
that environment.
Orca isn't going to catch up to Speakup anytime soon, if ever. Nor
should it try to. What's the point. Speakup can't do what Orca does
superbly well. So, why should anyone have a problem relying on Speakup
to do what it does superbly well?
I just don't get it. Never have.

Given my experiences with vi/vim under yasr/speakup, I suspect it was
using Orca to try and read an X terminal which I've occasionally
found a tad frustrating depending on which flavor of terminal it is.
