            Bug ID: 296042
           Summary: bsddialog: Arrow keys and tabs not working when
                    TERM=ansi
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org

Partial fix? arrow keys + tabs

How to reproduce:

TERM=ansi bsdinstall jail /jail/foo

Testing bsdinstall with TERM=ansi (the first one of the three recommended
terminals) fails to understand tabs and arrow keys.

Taking a look at:

# infocmp -1 ansi | grep kcud1
kcud1=\n,

I wonder if the attached patch could fix it.

NOTE: I have no clue if this is actually a partial fix. Also note that cdialog
works as expected.
