bastille linux puzzle

bastille linux puzzle

[Jude DaShiell]

I can mostly navigate between windows with tab key, but haven't been able 
to figure out what button I'm on for answering yes/no questions and 
haven't been able to control which button I move to with the arrow keys. 
I'm thinking maybe editing the basic configuration file bastille makes by 
hand then running the software in batch mode may be the most predictible 
and reliable way to control this package with speakup for now.  If it's 
any consolatioon, the mouse has no effect on bastille while running in 
console mode either.  I was using the arrow keys between numpad and 
right-shift key earlier.  I hope bastille doesn't expect speakup keys to 
be used to control it but I'm not prepared to rule that out.

Hi,
I'm not really familiar with this package, but I have two possible generic 
solutions you may be able to use. First, does the interface have hot keys in 
it? For example, if you want to answer a yes/no question, could you maybe 
press alt+y for yes or something like that? Second, if that is not a 
possibility (probably not), is it a possibility to write an alternative 
interface to the graphical one? Some sort of text based interface or 
something? If neither of these is workable, then you're right, editing the 
config file and running it batch mode is the best option. I was just 
thinking of a way one may be able to use the interactive features of this 
program.
