Right now we have commands to copy the current selection to the clipboard, or to append to it. This works well in simple situations, but falls down in more complex scenarios.

Say I have a block of error text in my terminal. I'd like to copy the error to my clipboard and paste it into a GitHub issue.

Now I have to highlight a line, use my copy-to-clipboard command, then highlight and append all subsequent lines. This requires a keystroke per line, or more if the append command requires several keypresses.

NVDA has a command to set a start marker, and another to copy everything between the start and current review position to the clipboard. There are, of course, sanity checks to ensure that both pointers are within the same object. Any chance we might get these for Orca?

With such commands in place, the workflow for my current scenario would look like: Move to start of error message, set start marker, move down until end, invoke copy command. All text between the current position and start marker would land on the clipboard.

Thanks.
