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.
