Oh, thanks to both of you! > Do you have any suggestions as to possible key combinations for it? Sadly, not immediately. However, I starting reading the section 5.2, 5.2 `Cut and Paste» of BRLTTY's manual to see how things are written down currently and maybe get some inspiration. Slightly off-topic: I do not understand why the manual uses the word `cut` as hwat we do is really copy text andnever cut it? Coming back to the topic, and given how the section introduceds hthe need for copy andpast for long txt, I think the smaprt copy will be a great addition to it. I am just wondring how it will fit in the current framework because what the manal says is that one should start by selecting the beginingof the region one wants to manipulate. If I understand the current implementaiton of smart copy this requirement of selecting the beginning is removed. I am not sure I am found of that. I think even for a smart copy I'd prefer the smartness to go to the right from where I selected, not to the left. To me that owuld be more coherent with how things already work. Also, coming back to the manual, perhaps things could be made clearer by fisrst explaining what can be copied, i.e. rectangular or linear areas of the screen, before turning to the steps. Also, in each of the two first steps, there are two sub-items that start with "invoke". Perhaps the manual could emphasize that it's either one or the other? At the moment they are listed in sequence and, although it is unordered lists that are used it may be helpful to clarify even further that it's not the two invokcations that need to be performed, but ratherone of them? I'm happy to propose an update to the manual once we agree on these things and on whether smart copy should be looking also at the left of the character that has been selected (I think not).
