- DESCRIPTION
-
(ALPHA)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
- This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project,
you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access
allowlist. These variants are also available:
