-, original submission:  

libcons should support moving a pointer in the virtual console and marking a region.  That region is copied and can be yanked later (on a different virtual console even).

The task involves defining the libcons interface for this (cons_vcons_move_pointer, cons_vcons_mark_region, or similar), and implementing it in libcons and the console client.  Difficulties lie in calculating the clipping, automatic scrolling on the upper and lower edge of the screen, updating the display and copying the marked region.

In particular, what should happen if there is output while you are marking a region?
