Hi Kenny
There is currently no keyboard navigation for cut-and-paste using a terminal. There has been extensive discussion of this in the past, but the main barrier to implementing it is that no one has ever come up with a proposal for doing it which doesn't conflict with other existing key bindings.
One conclusion that some people have drawn is that cut-and-paste is the responsibility of the console application, not the terminal itself. Many terminal-based applications (like vi, etc.) do provide selection and cut-and-paste capabilities, but most command shells do not.
See bug #
Possibly the best solution for this problem is for assistive technology such as gnopernicus to provide a cut-and-paste facility without needing to change the application itself, via the AccessibleText API.
Also please let us know the platform you are using and what problems you are still having with gnome-help. Gnome-help from GNOME 2.8 and earlier should be quite accessible 'out of the box', it works with gnopernicus, orca, and GOK.

Hi. Could someone please point me to docs on how to cut and paste in gnome-terminal using only the keyboard? Also, is it possible to do it when Gnopernicus is your only method of feedback from the system? Since I still have problems using help, on line docs would be best.
Thanks in advance.
Kenny
