It would be great to have the ability to set the width of table columns to be proportionate to the parent size. In some cases keeping all three rows visible is important.

tview has this. Please see TableCell.SetExpansion() for details.

Let me know if this is what you're looking for.

Okay, that sort of works if I use TableCell.SetMaxWidth() also, for example:

results.SetCell(row, 0, tview.NewTableCell("Column A").SetMaxWidth(1).SetExpansion(1))
results.SetCell(row, 1, tview.NewTableCell("Column B").SetMaxWidth(1).SetExpansion(1))
results.SetCell(row, 2, tview.NewTableCell("Column C").SetMaxWidth(1).SetExpansion(1))

This seems to result in each being of equal width.

Yes. If you want all columns to have the same dynamic width, that's the way to do it.
