Extended command by regexp?

In Emacs - is there a way I can search an extended command by regex right in the minibuffer? That is - I want to filter commands by regexp and then choose the one I need using IDO or Icicles.

Solution

  • I've always suspected that Icicles provdies that.

    M-x <command-regexp> [PageUp/PageDown]

    to browse the commands mathching regexp, and

    M-x <command-regexp> [Shift-Tab]

    to see the list of commands matching regexp. More here.
