Bug 302381 – app-misc/livecd-tools: calls to dialog need the --visit-items option for accessibility

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description William Hubbs 2010-01-26 22:27:39 UTC]

All,

in net-setup and livecd-functions.sh, there are several calls to the
dialog utility.  The accessibility of this utility can be improved
significantly by addling the --visit-items option to all of the calls to
it.  This will make the cursor tracking with screen readers much easier.

This can be done in two ways:

1) go through the scripts and add --visit-items to each call to the
dialog command, or

2)  initialize the DIALOGOPTS environment variable as follows before any call to
dialog:

export DIALOGOPTS=--visit-items

Thanks,

William
