Now that Orca has become a common tool for many of us, at least for part of our Linux computing activity, wanted to put in an enhancement request whereby Speakup might pump data into the X clipboard, and retrieve X clipboard contents in the console environment. I would note this is already possible. My request is that we streamline the process. Here's how it's possible today: Make sure you have DISPLAY:0 exported and the xclip package installed. Put some text into Speakup's clipboard. Issue the command: xclip -selection clip-board Press enter and do Insert+/ to paste the contents of the Speakup clipboard into xclip. Terminate by pressing Ctrl+d. Change to your gui desktop and paste using Ctrl+v. It's also possible to go the other direction with: xclip -o -selection clip-board But, what would really be nice is to get rid of the intermediate steps with xclip. It would be so much cooler to simply have Speakup's clipboard also populate the X clipboard when we do Mark and Cut in the console. And, it would be ever so so cool to have the X clipboard automatically populate Speakup's clipboard when a Ctrl+x or Ctrl+c is actuated on some text in the gui environment. Thoughts, anyone?
