@darylza i can recover the value of a widget by include an observer.
The design pattern of an observer is to add an argument (parameter) when you create an instance of an other one object (so you pass this observer instance as a parameter to the new object instance through init(self, observer) ). You will use this observer next to push values inside.
So in your situation, you can handle an event handler from the npyscreen event key handler's object with this observer.
I usually do that to separate views and action to get a full MVC design and fully separate action from views (Forms are views and there actions methods are redirected to own dedicated controllers then).

Actually, my own problem now with this object GridColTitle is to resize the columns depend of the content... (or anyway, just resize). If you have an idea, feel free to share.
