Is Textual suitable for arrow key navigation?

[braindevices]

our environment normally do not provide mouse and need pure keyboard navigation through the TUI.
we have been using urwid, there the navigation by key is enabled by default.
But all the textual example seems only usable when there is a mouse, unless there is natural key binding like calculator.
I wonder is this library suitable for this kind of application at all.

What makes you think that all the examples only seem usable with a mouse?

You can interact with all Textual widgets using the keyboard and use Tab to move focus to the next widget. Pressing Shift+Tab moves the focus in the opposite direction.

thanks! we did not noticed this because we have tab and shift+tab binding in our DE

@braindevices As Tom pointed out you can use tab and shift+tab to navigate controls in all Textual apps. You can also bind keys to do whatever you like.
