I am running WSL version 2 under Windows 10 version 2004, with all Windows updates applied. Is there a keyboard-based approach to copying/pasting text from/to the terminal, either using the default Windows console, or Windows Terminal? Windows Terminal appears to be accessible via NVDA at the moment, but not yet with JAWS, based on my testing with both screen readers.

Hi, Pasting works pretty well though i also seem to have issues with selecting/copying. in the standard settings for the terminal window (cmd based terminal) you can set to use ctrl+shift for pasting/copying. So you can use ctrl+shift+v to paste and ctrl+shift+c to copy. though i haven't found out how to select the whole terminal screen. using default cmd instead of the new windows terminal.

Hey, I wrote NVDA’s Windows Terminal support. That’ll probably provide the best experience until Windows 10 21H1/new Windows Console. To copy text, use NVDA+F9/NVDA+F10 (see the MVDA user guide). Bill Sent from my iPhone

Thank you, Bill - I plan to upgrade soon to NVDA 2020.3-RC1. I also have the JAWS 2021 beta, so I'm able to test the latest. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Dengler Sent: Wednesday, October 7, 2020 10:55 AM To: Mailing list for blind system administrators Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Terminal copy/paste functions in Windows Subsystem for Linux Hey, I wrote NVDA’s Windows Terminal support.

How does one access the settings? I tried various keyboard commands and simulated mouse clicks - but no luck so far. -----Original Message----- From: Eigeldinger Simon Sent: Wednesday, October 7, 2020 10:20 AM To: Mailing list for blind system administrators Cc: Jason White Subject: AW: [Blind-sysadmins] Terminal copy/paste functions in Windows Subsystem for Linux Hi, Pasting works pretty well though i also seem to have issues with selecting/copying. in the standard settings for the terminal window (cmd based terminal) you can set to use ctrl+shift for pasting/copying.

Hi, no unfortunately it doesn't. seems my luck in describing things today is failing. *smile* open up a normal cmd terminal. then you can do that. it should also be valid then in the wsl terminal. will also play with the new nvda implementation. greetings, simon Am 07.10.2020 um 17:25 schrieb Jason White via Blind-sysadmins:

Hi all and especially Bill, Selecting using nvda+f9 and nvda+f10 works pretty well. What is when i need to copy the complete buffer of the terminal to the clipboard? Can i do that as well? Because currently i just can copy the last lines which i can find in the nvda object navigator for the terminal window. Greetings and thanks, simon Am 07.10.2020 um 17:33 schrieb Simon Eigeldinger:
