Per my mail to -current of 16 September 2011, I must use the arrow keys to navigate between the IP address, netmask, and default router fields -- tab is insufficient. I wrote: %%%%%%%% In most of the installer, the new dialog is reasonable, with space select/deselecting and enter activating. But the behavior in the network configuration and resolver dialogs is different -- it seems that I have to use the up/down arrows to move between the IP address, netmask, and default router fields; enter on any of them still performs the 'ok' action, even though 'ok' is not selected when any of those three fields are selected. I think there are several ways in which this situation might be improved -- it might be that one of 'ok' and 'cancel' is always selected, or tab might move between the three entry fields as well as ok/cancel, or enter on one field might move to the next. (I didn't do anything with IPv6, so I don't know if similar issues are present there.) %%%%%%%

(In reply to Ben Kaduk from comment #0) Thank you for the report and your suggestions. These features have been implemented in "forms" since version 0.3 of bsddialog. Currently available in CURRENT 14 (bsdddialog v. 0.4). Properly: > one of 'ok' and 'cancel' is always selected Done. > or tab might move between the three entry fields as well as ok/cancel Done. > or enter on one field might move to the next Enter selects the current "always selected" ok or cancel buttons to make the behavior consistent with the first hint. Related note, others have preferred this behavior as well, anyway it can be disabled by the --switch-buttons option.
