This screen is ran on stderr.
And when you hit enter, it prints on stdout.
This makes it possible to run an application and choose what will
be sent to any application calling yours.
For example, assuming you build this example with
cargo build --bin stderr
and then you run it with
cd "$(target/debug/stderr)"
what the application prints on stdout is used as argument to cd.
Try it out.
Hit any key to quit this screen:
1 will print `..`
2 will print `/`
3 will print `~`
Any other key will print this text (so that you may copy-paste)
