Yeah, I think it is expected it not to work, so far. > Does this feature has to be implemented from the Orca side, or is it > possible that BRLTTY can take care of such a function? As I understand the problem, I think it will have to be implemented at several levels. Indeed, at the moment brltty has now way to share the content of its clipboard with other applications. It would probably be BrlAPI's job to make this possible. Then once it is done orca will have to take advantage of this functionality somehow. One other possibility might be that Orca asks not to receive brltty's paste commands. Then these commands would be interpreted by brltty itself, which would do the right thing, I presume. But that way of dealing with the situation would have its own limits. Imagine for example that you run a second brltty to follow a terminal run under X (so with the a2 screen driver). Then, two possibilities. 1. That second brltty also asks not to receive the paste events, and you will be able to copy from text consoles to graphical terminals but you won't be able to copy/paste inside the graphical terminal. 2. The second brltty handles paste normally so you can copy/paste inside the graphical terminal but cannot copy/paste from a text console to a graphical terminal. One solution I can imagine to this problem would be to have a clipboard running as an autonomous service, that would have absolutely nothing to do with braille or with X being used etc. Does something like this already exist?
