When you are reading a page or message, interact with the text, press vo keys with enter to begin your selection, use vo keys with arrows to select your text, press vo keys with enter again to turn off selection, stop interacting and press command-c to copy. It might be that you do the copy before closing the interaction but I don't think so.
