accessibility: use real TTY cursor in room list

Open humenda opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

The :rooms list uses a visual cursor instead of the "real" TTY cursor. This one stays either at the end or the beginning of the list. This is problematic for blind users using a screen reader. The cursor is used to determine which item is selected. You can compare this on GNU/Linux when using dialog, once without --visit-items and once with --visit-items. Without this change, a blind user can just learn the room list and their indices by heart, navigate to the memorised index and hope they'll end up in the right room.
