gcloud alpha topic accessibility

NAME
gcloud alpha topic accessibility - reference forAccessibility features
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) Theaccessibility/screen_reader property whenset to true will change some behavior to make gcloud more screen readerfriendly. Currently the following changes are implemented:
  • For progress trackers, instead of unicode spinners, the phrase 'working' isdisplayed on stderr, every second while gcloud is working.
  • For progress bars, progress is displayed as a percentage, outputted to stderr.
  • For boxed tables, instead of the queried resources being displayed in tablesdrawn in Unicode, results are rendered as a flattened list of items. Alsoconsider using the --format flag to define your own format.

To turn this on, run:

gcloudconfigsetaccessibility/screen_readertrue

Accessibility support is still in early stages. Please report any issues thatyou would like fixed usinggcloudfeedback.
