I vaguely remember a feature that clicking on the echo area pops up the *Messages* buffer with the recent messages at the end of the *Messages* buffer. So Jidanni could just click on the shell output in the echo area, and copy the complete output from the displayed *Messages* buffer. But this feature doesn't work anymore. Searching the source code indicates that such a feature existed before. In minibuffer.el: (defvar minibuffer-inactive-mode-map (let ((map (make-keymap))) ... (define-key map [mouse-1] 'view-echo-area-messages) But now clicking mouse-1 reports an error.
