Bug ID: 280048
Summary: Installer wizard: Incomplete hint text
Product: Base System
Version: 14.1-STABLE
Hardware: arm64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
While installing FreeBSD 14.1 from the disc1 release, the installer's
text-mode UI provides an incomplete hint about the control keys. For
example, the "Keymap selection" window says:
> Press arrows, TAB or ENTER.
A good hint should be more clear, and say which keys do what, e.g.:
> Use [not "press"] arrows to highlight an item, ENTER to select it, and
> TAB to cycle though buttons.
Alternatively, a generic message can be composed that applies to all or
most windows of the installer wizard, e.g.:
> Use ARROWS to navigate inside a control, TAB to cycle between
> controls, and ENTER to activate the selected element.
Also, the intro text is inexact. It says:
> Other keymaps can be chosen below.
whereas in fact only /one/ additioal keymap seems to be selectable, so
that the text can say, e.g.:
> An additional keymap can be chosen below.
