It all boils down to your workflow .. Instead of doing M-x apropos or M-x
apropos-command and go through 10's or 100's of results, I prefer using
counsel-M-x from the counsel package. Below shows me all commands that
begin with 'shell'. Note that I intentionally use regexp here.. I have
"^shell" instead of just "shell", so it shows me only the commands that
begin with "shell". Once I have that list, I pick one and hit return.
That's it.
