- DESCRIPTION
-
(BETA)Theaccessibility/screen_readerproperty when set to true will change some behavior to make gcloud more screen reader friendly. Currently the following changes are implemented:- For progress trackers, instead of unicode spinners, the phrase 'working' is displayed 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 tables drawn in Unicode, results are rendered as a flattened list of items. Also consider using the --format flag to define your own format.
To turn this on, run:
gcloud config set accessibility/screen_reader trueAccessibility support is still in early stages. Please report any issues that you would like fixed using
gcloud feedback. - NOTES

variants are also available:
