Allow the Buffer Finder to search the titles of non-buffer pane items also #256

From @ptoomey3:

When there are more tabs than screen space, the Buffer Finder (Cmd+B on macOS) becomes a much more important tool for navigating between open files. What @ptoomey3 would like to see is the ability to use the Buffer Finder to navigate between all open tabs, not just buffer tabs. Specifically, their workflow is for going through Project Find search results. For example:

  1. Launch Atom in the local Atom repository
  2. Double click four random files in the Tree View
  3. Open the Project Find panel with Cmd+Shift+F
  4. Type atom in the find box
  5. Press Enter to execute the search
  6. Click a search result
  7. Press Cmd+B to bring up the Buffer Finder

Expected: "Project Find Results" to be at the top of the Buffer Finder list Actual: "Project Find Results" isn't in the list at all

Being able to select the "Project Find Results" in the Buffer Finder would allow them to go back to their find results quickly even if they have 60 other tabs open.

I recommend that we make this functionality a new command that people can replace the current Buffer Finder keybinding with if they prefer this functionality. Or they can perhaps use Cmd+Shift+B for this alternate functionality.

I don't have a strong preference here. Whether it is simply a config option within fuzzy-finder, or something I have to remap, either seems fine. In the end I'd just love to have Cmd-B show a stack of all my open tabs :smile:.
