Description
Some of the Vimium commands are useful for me but rarely used (e.g. hover over link). Since they are rarely used, I don't want to map them to a key, but I'd also like to be able to quickly execute them on demand.
With regular Vim, I could accomplish this by autocomplete (or better yet, fuzzy find) on my command history, or on available commands.
Is there an equivalent solution for Vimium? I'd almost expect this to be a feature of the omnibar, with the right prefix, e.g. I could see :foo in omnibar showing commands or command history fuzzy matching foo.

Research direction
Start by tracing Vimium's omnibar and command-handling entry points, since the issue proposes a command prefix there. Determine how available commands and command history should be matched and presented, then define completion as a clear way to execute a selected command without a key mapping.
