9.0-RC2 - bsdinstall - ifconfig
Aleksandr Rybalko
Several days ago I made fresh installation of 9.0-RC2.
I found that new installer is very easy and very usable.
But found small problem:
When I doing interface configuration, I press <tab> instead of <arrow>
and then for return press <Shift+Tab>, after that dialog was closed
with only IP field filled.
So it is not a problem that <Shift+Tab> not supported, but problem is
that unexpected keys combinations close the dialog box.
Thank you!

I've been annoyed by this dialog mis-feature as well, and I've just found this debian bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=641135
My standard terminal is Mac OS X' Terminal.app, using TERM=xterm-color. I've tested this dialog invocation:
$ dialog --menu foo 20 60 12 a one b two c three
Hitting Shift-Tab exits from dialog.
Looking at /etc/termcap, it seems the various xterm definitions lack a kB definition. syscons as well as Terminal.app produces ^]]Z for Shift-Tab.
If I set these environment variables:
$ export TERMCAP='xterm-fixed:kB=\E[Z:tc=xterm-color:'
$ export TERM=xterm-fixed
dialog behaves correctly.
This article discusses how to add a keybinding for plain xterm to produce ^[[Z for Shift-Tab (by default, xterm produces ^I for both Tab and Shift-Tab):

It might be beneficial to add kB=\e[Z to the standard xterm entries in our termcap.

That's a much better PR than the one I submitted about the problem last
year: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/151229 :)

Sorry, I did try to check termcap related PRs before filing mine, but didn't see yours.
