Different keyboard-shortcut for radiolist items in dialog utility

I have a dialog like this:

dialog --no-items --radiolist "radiolist" 10 10 10 "aaa" on "abb" off "ccc" off

This is the dialog generated in terminal:

As you can see keyboard shortcut for first and second item is same - it is the a. Any ideas how to make the second item available under keyboard shortcut b?

dialog doesn't allow the designation of specific character positions within the list. The man page specifically states "first character" or "1-9".

However, the user can cycle through multiple list items that begin with the same character simply by pressing the same character multiple times.

In your example, pressing a multiple times to cycle through the first 2 items in the list is the best you can get with dialog
