As I said, it's preference. I meant to emphasize this in my previous email:
I prefer:
*Once I have that list, I pick one and hit return. That's it.*
I like the speed:

rather than:
1. M-x apropos-command (or C-h a)
2. Find the command I want after scrolling through a possible multi-page

3. M-x command-I-found
4. Repeat 1-2 till I find the right command
