The tcell-term is a library based on tcell. At the moment, it has a custom event that determines if the terminal has exited or not.
How do I access this event in tview?
Is there a way to call this event and then use it in the application?

I figured out I can queue a event using the QueueEvent function but how do I access the event from the app event loop itself??

There is currently no way to do this. Can you provide some context? What do you want to achieve with these custom events?

@rivo @digitallyserviced
https://git.sr.ht/~rockorager/tterm is a library based on https://git.sr.ht/~rockorager/tcell-term for t view.

This allows to use a terminal as a view for tview. It works quite well and without any issues.
I am trying to create a TMux sort of application using this library

However, when the shell exits (e.g. the user typed user) tcell-term emits a EventClosed event to let the user know that the terminal has exited. I would like to capture the EventClosed in tview and then perform a set of actions accordingly.
