```
pane.Pane.chooseBuffer() -> Promise<void>
```

Open the interactive buffer chooser in this pane.

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.

## Example

```ts
await pane.chooseBuffer();
```
