pub fn new(
    prompt: impl Into<String>,
    choices: Vec<impl Into<String>>,
    config: DMenuConfig
) -> Self

pub fn run(&self, screen_index: usize) -> Result<MenuMatch>

Run this DMenu command and return the selected choice.

let lines = vec!["some", "choices", "to", "pick", "from"];
let menu = DMenu::new(">>>", lines, DMenuConfig::default());

let screen_index = manager.active_screen_index();

match menu.run(screen_index)? {
    MenuMatch::Line(i, s) => println!("matched '{}' on line '{}'", s, i),
    MenuMatch::UserInput(s) => println!("user input: '{}'", s),
    MenuMatch::NoMatch => println!("no match"),
}
