Description
Ctrl+E commands are not very discoverable for new users.
Sublime/Atom Cmd[+Shift]+P commands have a dropdown of available commands that is filtered as you type, which improves discoverability of commands and also saves on typing (you can type a few letters of the command and hit enter). Something like this would be a great addition to micro.
When the first word is completed, this dropdown could switch to displaying documentation about the selected command's arguments to help the user further.
Also, the dropdown could also be used for directory browsing or file search when the user wishes to open, save or search for a file.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Ctrl+E command flow and how commands, open/save actions, and file search are currently exposed. The issue names no files or tests and combines command filtering, argument documentation, directory browsing, and file search, so the scope and acceptance criteria need to be settled before implementation.
