Was able to make it work by using following piece of code:
leftbox = RemotailListBox(RemotailWalker())
rightbox = RemotailListBox(RemotailWalker())
column = RemotailColumns([leftbox, rightbox])
header = urwid.AttrMap(urwid.Text(header_text), 'header')
footer = urwid.AttrMap(urwid.Text(footer_text), 'footer')
frame = urwid.Frame(column, header=header, footer=footer)
def unhandled_input(key):
if key.lower() == 'q':
raise urwid.ExitMainLoop()
elif key in ('right', 'tab'):
column.focus_position = column.focus_position + 1 if
column.focus_position < len(column.contents) - 1 else 0
elif key == 'left':
column.focus_position = column.focus_position - 1 if
column.focus_position > 0 else len(column.contents) - 1
loop = urwid.MainLoop(frame, palette, unhandled_input=unhandled_input)
However, I read that using unhanded_input for controlling application keys can
be a bad idea. I tried overriding keypress method inside RemotailColumns by
handling 'right', 'tab', 'left' keys and returning key for other cases. But
that stopped the scrolling using up/down arrow keys.
