# Select a buffer from dmenu, rofi, or fzf-tmux
# Screenshot with fzf-tmux: https://seirdy.one/misc/buffer-dmenu-tmux.png
# To call externally (IE: from i3), enable weechat fifo and run:
#  $ echo "core.weechat */buffer_dmenu" >> $(find ~/.weechat -type p)
#
# Optionally requires i3-py [py2] (or i3ipc [py3]) to focus weechat in i3
#
# History:
# 2021-03-19, Seirdy
#     version 0.2.1: add support for fzf-tmux
# 2020-06-08, Ferus
#     version 0.2: drop support of py2 and fix error when closing
#                  dmenu/rofi with no choice selected
# 2020-02024, Seirdy
#     version 0.1.2: py3-ok
# 2017-05-03, Ferus
#     version 0.1.1: fix argument error for config_set_plugin
# 2016-05-01, Ferus
#     version 0.1: initial release - requires WeeChat ≥ 0.3.7
