Siciliano from comment #1) > env TERM=ansi cdialog --menu test 0 0 0 a 1 b 2 c 3 > When I press arrows cdialog exits. Yes, the arrows exit with cdialog as well. I was testing with bsdinstall, but only on the first screen where the user selects pkgbase or distribution sets. > (Anyway for me your patch/change to ansi is ok, assuming we can change the caabilities of a term). OK, I can add a few more keys in that case for completeness (although I don't think it'll be accepted). At any rate, the issue with the tabs and bsddialog still remains. Even with the patch, the tab key seems not to work. env TERM=ansi bsddialog --menu test 0 0 0 a 1 b 2 c 3 Notice that the user is not able to select [OK]/[Cancel] by tab navigation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
