I am new to TUI and of course tview, so sorry for the noob code.

The code I am talking about is here: https://git.sr.ht/~rek2/golisten2music/tree/tui/item/main.go

I manage to get most of it working, I am migrating another go app I had into tview and I have 2 main issues reminding that I can't see to be solved by reading others code to learn.

when I populate the list, I add a func call to when is selected, good. but as soon I move focus to the list it runs before I actually move around the list...
when I am done watching a that video above and close the external app, go back to the list and try to select another video, and it will focus on search again instead of selecting the item and running the func again.
I know this may be super silly stuff but I will learn a lot from the opinions and tips I get.

thanks in advance.

I was able to figure out prob in a very hackish, dirty way but works.
