Package: dselect Version: 1.13.16 Severity: wishlist
Good afternoon. Some time around when Sarge was released, the dselect "welcome to dselect's main package listing" screen changed behavior. When I first used it, the required keystroke was the space-bar to go from that screen to the actual listing. But then, I started using dselect in 1995. Then between when Woody and Sarge were released (I've been tracking Sid the whole time), I think, the behavior changed and instead of the space-bar to continue, it became "hit <enter> to continue". While a surprise, I realized that it was much more consistent and logical, since everywhere else in dselect hitting <enter> is what is used to simply continue. However, when Sarge was released (or some time around then) the behavior revered back to <space>. This has been bugging me ever since. So I politely request that the behavior of dselect be changed back to the consistency of using <enter> as the continue button everywhere, including the "welcome to dselect's main package listing" page. Thank you for taking the time to consider this request regardless. BTW, people don't say "Thank You" enough. Thank you for all your hard work, which is what makes Debian the distribution that it is. Without the Debian Developers, there wouldn't be any reason to use it. I admire and respect all the effort it takes to keep things working as remarkably well as this system you have created does.
