It should select and move to the next question. For a simple y/n question, I would like to look like this +----------+ | [text] | |[question]| | [y] [n] | +----------+ And the arrow keys should move between [y] and [n]. When the user is ready he should press [enter] to choose and end the dialog. For a select question, I would like to look like this +-------------+ | [text] | | [question] | | +---------+ | | | option1 | | | |*option2*| | | | option3 | | | +---------+ | +-------------+ The arrow keys should move the focus between the options, and [enter] should select the currently focused item and end the dialog. For a multiselect question, I would like to look like this: +--------------+ | [text] | | [question] | | +----------+ | | |[x]option1| | | |[x]option2| | | |[ ]option3| | | +----------+ | +--------------+ The arrow keys should move focus between the options, and [space] should flip the selection marker on and off. Enter should select the currently marked options and end the dialog. > Please consider also that you know what you type; some people may > hit [enter] key whereas input is wrong, this is why I prefer it > being active only on <next> button. If the choice is destructive and impossible to back out , the default value (ie the one activate by [enter] should) should be the save alternative (ie cancel, no, back, whatever). If the question is to erase the hard-drive, then the default should be no. It should almost always be possible to go back to the previous question and change the selection. This would make the installation intuitive to me, and also make it possible to answer the questions quickly. (No, I have no idea how we can make this happen. But it is what I want. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
