About Emacs commands

Command – What a command is. What turns an ordinary Emacs function into a command. ‘M-x’ and ` M-:’.
DisabledCommands – Hiding certain commands from the user.
CancelingInEmacs – Stopping something you started, not to be confused with undoing.
InteractiveFunction - How to make a function an interactive command.
MinibufferHistory – Retrieve and re-execute previously executed commands.
RepeatingCommands – Repeating an individual command or a sequence of commands (e.g. keyboard macros).
KeyboardMacros – Record your commands then play them back.

ShowKey – Show a log of keys you use and their commands.
CommandLogMode – Similar to ShowKey.
KeyCast – Similar ShowKey but show the key and command on the mode line, not in a window.
InteractionLogMode – Show an exhaustive log of your interactions with Emacs.
DoReMi – Define commands that change things incrementally.
ExecAbbrevCmd – Execute Emacs commands by typing their abbreviations
Icicles – Define commands that read and match input (simple or regexp), providing input-completion and cycling of matching candidates. Define multiple-choice commands and menus easily.
CommandSubset – Like ‘M-x’ but with only a subset of the available commands.

Recs – Suggest a more efficient command when a command sequence matches a pattern of commands defined as a regular expression.
