Bug ID: 295429
Summary: bsddialog inconsistently supports lowercase hotkeys
Product: Base System
Version: 16.0-CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin

Comparing old dialog to bsddialog:
In a menu dialog where a hotkey is visibly displayed in the menu by
highlighting, the two dialogs behave differently.
Meanwhile, to highlight this as an inconsistency, old dialog and new bsddialog
are consistent with each other when it comes to button hotkeys.
That is to explain, that in each menu dialog, there are two potential hotkeys.
1. hotkeys for selecting menu items
2. hotkeys for selecting buttons
For example, in the ZFS menu of the installer, the letter T is a hotkey for
pool type menu item.
While the hotkey is displayed as "T" in the menu:
a. old dialog (circa stable/14) accepts lowercase "t" (no shift) to jump to the
"T" hotkeyed menu item
b. new bsddialog (circa current/16) does nothing when you press lowercase "t"
and instead requires Shift+T to activate that same hotkey
I discovered this when I was writing documentation on how to install
16.0-CURRENT on the Framework laptop and was astonished that it did not behave
the same as 14.4-STABLE
