Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/rivo/tview/issues/371

The godoc in the introduction states:

...
- List: A navigable text list with optional keyboard shortcuts.
...

However i was not able to find any info on how to get rid of the shortcuts. Im trying to make a list without these shortcuts, how could i achieve that?

For List objects, you define the shortcuts yourself when calling AddItem() or InsertItem(). See the documentation:

The shortcut is a key binding. If the specified rune is entered, the item is selected immediately. Set to 0 for no binding.

So if you provide 0, there will be no such shortcut.

However, the arrow keys etc. will still work. If you need to, you can also get rid of them. Please have a look at SetInputCapture(). It works for List, too.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Completely missed the Set to 0 for no binding. part, thanks and sorry!
