Show all buffers and paste selected
copy mode
// what it does
`choose-buffer` opens an interactive, navigable list of all paste buffers inside the pane; selecting one with Enter pastes it into the current pane (the default action is `paste-buffer -p -b '<name>'`). It's the practical alternative to prefix-] when the buffer you want isn't the most recent.

: choose-buffer// gotcha
Because it pastes through paste-buffer, the same newline-as-carriage-return risk applies — a multi-line buffer can execute at a plain prompt. From the chooser, press d to delete the highlighted buffer instead of pasting it, or O to change the sort field.
