Hi Marcin,

Thanks for reporting this, I confirmed the behaviour - but since it's just a simple usability issue (the command line does make it clear that a/b are the accepted options), and only affects the CLI version of checkbox I'll be setting it to low.

Just a quick look through the code that generates the CLI prompts and ...ugh...

I'm not completely sure, but I think the a and b options are just the behaviour of whatever is used to create the prompt. There may be a way to arbitrarily change a and b to 1 and 2, perhaps, but that'll take more digging than what I had time to do today.
