Every button and checkbox has a keyboard shortcut, and I do installs with a keyboard all the time.  I don't know what component is at fault here, but it is definitely not anaconda.  Are you perhaps installing in virt?  Does it work if you use the regular video driver or perhaps use nomodeset?

Comment 2 Reartes Guillermo 2012-09-01 17:32:13 UTC
I would not say there is a fault or error here, it is just that all the buttons captions i have seen so far are all in UPPERCASE and without any underscored character. So, no visual clue.

> Are you perhaps installing in virt?

Yes, KVM. 
Most of them are with basic graphic video (vesa). or nomodeset.
Either SPICE:QLX or VNC:cirrus or whatever works for that particular compose.

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2012-09-01 17:33:11 UTC
Yes, and I'm saying if I hold down Alt, I can see the underscores so I know which keys to press.

Comment 4 Reartes Guillermo 2012-09-01 17:36:11 UTC
ok, i will check that and report later.

Comment 5 Reartes Guillermo 2012-09-02 20:43:53 UTC
I tried with tc5 and it works. 
ALT highlights the correct letter.

So this can be closed as notabug safely.
