Are you sure nobody might want to see a list of minibuffer commands?
I don't use this, but can imagine someone typing `M-x M-X TAB' to list
all minibuffer commands:
22 possible completions:
abort-minibuffers
abort-recursive-edit (C-])
context-menu-open (<menu>)
exit-minibuffer
file-cache-minibuffer-complete
isearch-backward (C-r)
isearch-forward (C-s)
minibuffer-beginning-of-buffer
minibuffer-choose-completion
minibuffer-complete
minibuffer-complete-and-exit
minibuffer-complete-word
minibuffer-completion-help
minibuffer-next-completion
minibuffer-previous-completion
next-history-element
next-line-or-history-element
next-matching-history-element
previous-history-element
previous-line-or-history-element
previous-matching-history-element
switch-to-completions
Or maybe there exists another way to do the same?
