10/15/2020, 8:33 AMthis is actually perfect for my uses becaue I was going to end up overriding defaults anyway - a

10/15/2020, 8:33 AMthanks for the tools, seems really nice! - b

10/15/2020, 8:34 AMfair enough... out of interest what was you use case for overriding defaults? Id like to make the new focus / navigation system pluggable so you could plug in controllers and whatnot - a

10/15/2020, 8:37 AMpretty non standard behaviour I'm after, for example after editting some input on one listview item I might change selected index to be 4 below - b

10/15/2020, 8:38 AMhmmm, ok, defo sounds pretty non standard... if you get a moment, and can share, would be good to see a gif... i mean, as you say, its totally non-standard, but it would be good to see if this type of behaviour could be worked out using a plugin system (always good to see stuff to keep things in mind when writing a new - fairly big - sub system) - a

10/15/2020, 8:49 AMyeah, and you get reuse... plus you get a alot of extra features (because of macros) with custom components / views - b
