chooseBuffer(): Promise<void>

Description#

The promise resolves once the chooser is on screen, not once someone has chosen: tmux answers this command as soon as it opens the mode. Bind a tmux command to the selection to act on what was picked.

tmux needs a client attached to the session to draw this. With none, it does nothing and reports success, so a headless run is told it worked.

Examples#

await pane.chooseBuffer();

tmux command#

The tmux commands behind chooseBuffer.

tmux C API#

The C declarations in tmux that implement these commands.
