Sure, you can use a Pile to split the screen and display anything you
like in each part.
Pile([('weight', 75, top_widget), ('weight', 25, bottom_widget)])

There is no tabbed window widget at the moment, but you can build what
you need with a combination of WidgetWrap, Pile, Columns and your own
tab hiding and showing code.

Try input_test.py to see what keys Urwid lets you handle.

CTRL+L is already a redraw command, if you are using the MainLoop class
and don't change the default command_map. META+Q can be handled with a
custom unhandled_input function, see the tutorial for more information.
