            Bug ID: 293426
           Summary: bsdinstall: curses ui: dialogs lack /-search for fast
                    matches
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: bms@FreeBSD.org

In bsdinstall, there is no way of quickly choosing a keymap by using
the /-key to perform a character search, as some other installers allow!

You literally have to scroll down manually through the whole list.
This also affects the "Countries" list in Timezone selection.

PgUp/PgDn seem to work on "real" keyboards but not guaranteed in Hyper-V
or other virtual environments.
