Is there a way to print() from withing SuspendCurses?

[frosencrantz]

I'm using the latest develop version of Visidata, and noticed that I can no longer use the print() function from within a SuspendCurses. What do you recommend for doing this now? I have some custom code that will print out something to the screen.

This should work, I am doing it.
Do you have a minimal example?

Hmm... I get different results in different configurations, but here is an example using the builtin REPL. The print function output goes to the Status sheet not to stdout.

We just changed this in develop, I didn't know that people were still using print() builtin within VisiData. You can use vd.printout() to stdout and vd.printerr() to stderr. We'll probably make SuspendCurses swap in the builtin and swap it out again when it completes.

vd.printout() works for my case. I still use print with SuspendCurses. I want to print something out to the screen, so I have some control over what I copy/paste. Thanks, @saulpw! And thanks @geekscrapy for checking.
