Overview

This is a fork of the Textualize Trogon TUI library that introduces these features:

• add support for Python's argparse parsers
• remove support for Click
• add ability for TUI parameter to filter subcommands
• support for manually constructing schemas
• support for argparse
• add examples for yapx, myke, and sys.argv
• support ommission of hidden parameters and subcommands from the TUI
• support the redaction of sensitive "secret" values
• support for showing required prompts as read-only
• positional arguments come before keyword arguments in the generated command
• ability to join list arguments values like this: -x 1 -x 2 -x 3 (default), or like this: -x 1 2 3
• vim-friendly keybindings
