Hi,

For a while, I've played with some ideas on unifying the choose-* and list-*
commands in some way.  Granted, neither type of command can be considered a
set of each other as not all list-* commands have choose-* command
equivalents [1] and hence it's not as simple as switching over the list-*
commands to have a flag to enter choose-mode or vice-versa.  This can only
make sense if both commands have each other's equivalence.

So there's a few options here:

* Bring all list-* commands in line with having choose-* counterparts (such
  as a "choose-panes" command (which might be an extension of choose-tree?),
  but then not every command warrants a choose-* equivalent -- such as
  list-keys.

Or:

* Deprecate list-* commands in favour of some flag to choose-* commands.

Or:

* If a choose-* command is called without an interactive tmux instance,
  emulate what list-* would have done.

Unifying these concepts to me, however we might choose to do it makes sense
to me, as the logic between both choose-* and list-* is the same in each
case, and what differs is whether they're interactive or not.

Thoughts welcome.  :)

Kindly,
