Hi,I've a bug report about dialog not supporting the Alt key. Means e.g. that dialog --yesno Hallo 6 30 return for both Alt-y and Alt-n or Alt-Y and Alt-N the value 255. This is nowadays somehow uncommon[1]. It would very helpful to be able to navigate not only with cursor or tab keys but also with the ALt and the coloured characters of the buttons.

It is probably difficult to do anything different for those terminal emulators that interpret the Alt/Meta modifier as "insert an ASCII ESC character before the typed character".
