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.

A

rather than:

1. M-x apropos-command (or C-h a)

2. Find the command I want after scrolling through a possible multi-page buffer

3. M-x command-I-found

4. Repeat 1-2 till I find the right command
