gcloud topic accessibility \- reference for \f5Accessibility\fR features



.SH "DESCRIPTION"

The \f5accessibility/screen_reader\fR property when set to true will change some
behavior to make gcloud more screen reader friendly. Currently the following
changes are implemented:

.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
For progress trackers, instead of unicode spinners, the phrase 'working' is
displayed on stderr, every second while gcloud is working.
.IP "\(bu" 2m
For progress bars, progress is displayed as a percentage, outputted to stderr.
.IP "\(bu" 2m
For boxed tables, instead of the queried resources being displayed in tables
drawn in Unicode, results are rendered as a flattened list of items. Also
consider using the \-\-format flag to define your own format.
.RE
.sp

To turn this on, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config set accessibility/screen_reader true

Accessibility support is still in early stages. Please report any issues that
you would like fixed using \f5gcloud feedback\fR.
