For a normal scene: select an item in List and jump to other widget.

Currently I have to rewrite InputHandler:

type CustomWidget struct {
        *tview.List
        otherWidget tview.Primitive
}

func (w *CustomWidget) InputHandler() func(event *tcell.EventKey, setFocus func(p tview.Primitive)) {
	h := w.List.InputHandler()
	return func(event *tcell.EventKey, setFocus func(p tview.Primitive)){
		h(event, setFocus)
		switch key := event.Key(); key {
		case tcell.KeyEnter:
			setFocus(otherWidget)
		}
	}
}

Or any better way to make it? Thanks.

The Application class has a public function SetFocus(). That's what you would usually use.
