server.interactive.Server.choose

choose ( self , chooser : Chooser , client : Option<&Client> ) → Result<(), Error> method [source] ¶ method [source] ¶ choose: Open one of tmux's interactive choosers on a client.

A chooser opens *in a pane*, which is why this needs no client and succeeds on a server nothing is attached to: the pane's pane_in_mode becomes 1 and its pane_mode becomes tree-mode, client or not.
That is the difference from Self::display_popup, Self::display_menu, Self::command_prompt and Self::display_panes, which draw *on a client* and report "no current client" without one. Passing client here only says which client's current pane to open in.
Errors
Returns Error::ServerMismatch when the client belongs to another server, or an error when tmux refuses the command. A missing client is not one: this does not need one.
