Kevin - I did this when I first implemented the console a while back - I wanted the same thing, and was able to split the two buttons at the bottom into three, so the middle one would show the current room, and then left and right were next and previous... Of course, I lost it when I upgraded (which I expected) and hadn't gotten around to re-document it. I have some loose notes that I took while doing it; which I can post here. Disclaimer: I do not write code, so I was basically just hacking this as an experiment to see if I could do it. My notes are not pretty, but might give you an idea. Also, it appears I may have gotten distracted and not fully documented the changes to adjust the button width. entries added to ~/consolestable/configobjects.py for i, kn in enumerate(config.MainChain): prevk = config.MainDict[config.MainChain[i - 1]].screen nextk = config.MainDict[config.MainChain[(i + 1)%len(config.MainChain)]].screen # added by pfl; add third button to describe current screen. thisk = config.MainDict[config.MainChain[(i)%len(config.MainChain)]].screen config.MainDict[kn].prevkey = toucharea.ManualKeyDesc(config.MainDict[kn].screen, prevk.name, prevk.label, config.CmdKeyCol, config.CmdCharCol, config.CmdCharCol, proc=functools.partial(config.DS.NavPress, prevk), center=( config.horizborder + .5*cbutwidth, cvertcenter), size=(cbutwidth, cbutheight)) config.MainDict[kn].nextkey = toucharea.ManualKeyDesc(config.MainDict[kn].screen, nextk.name, nextk.label, config.CmdKeyCol, config.CmdCharCol, config.CmdCharCol, proc=functools.partial(config.DS.NavPress, nextk), center=( config.horizborder + 2.5*cbutwidth, cver$ size=(cbutwidth, cbutheight)) # added by pfl; add third button to describe current screen. config.MainDict[kn].thiskey = toucharea.ManualKeyDesc(config.MainDict[kn].screen, thisk.name, thisk.label, config.CmdKeyCol, config.CmdCharCol, config.CmdCharCol, proc=functools.partial(config.DS.NavPress, thisk), center=( config.horizborder + 1.5*cbutwidth, cvertcenter), size=(cbutwidth, cbutheight)) entries adjusting in ~/consolestable/displayscreen.py # pfl; redefined trying to add third button - three lines commented and replaced # if NavKeys: # nav = OrderedDict( # {'prevkey': self.ScreensDict[self.AS.name].prevkey, 'nextkey': self.ScreensDict[self.AS.name].nextkey}) if NavKeys: nav = OrderedDict( {'prevkey': self.ScreensDict[self.AS.name].prekey, 'thiskey': self.ScreensDict[self.AS.name].thiskey, 'nextkey':self.ScreensDict[self.AS.name].nextkey}) #end of change made changes to configobjects for secondary chain and attempted to change width.

Certainly late to this game, but see you're still developing and refining the code on Git. This is brilliant. I found it a few days ago and got a chance to do an install last night. Fantastic. I'm really enjoying this. Thank you for sharing your creation. As an FYI, for folks who may come along after me, on 4/15/2018 Weather Underground stopped issuing free API keys. (Just missed it!). From the posts there, it looks like the cheapest keys will be around $850/month.... For the time being existing keys will work, though how long that might be wasn't clear.
