command-history for commands bound to keys.

Are commands evoked from key-bindings registered in some way?

C-h v command-history RET

But AFAIK there is no special treatment for when a command is
called through a keybinding.

There is a chance that you'll see 2 more similar replies later. Or if you prefer,  earlier.

Pressing C-o doesn't register (open-line) in command-history. Unless you are using the trunk version, and this has been changed.

According to the help, (list-command-history) deals
with "commands typed to minibuffer". So try:

;; hit:
;; M-x open-line RET

(list-command-history)

Aha, that was the thing you wanted! Then my previous
post is not much help.

You know about `C-h l', of course. Poor man's solution,
no doubt, but otherwise I don't know.

Directly after invocation: see the variables `this-command',
`last-command'.

If you want a history, no, not in vanilla Emacs.  But there are add-on
packages available that log all hit keys and commands,
e.g.

or

And also:

(defvar es-full-command-history (make-ring 100))

(defun es-full-command-history-register ()
  (unless (or (memq this-command
                    '(self-insert-command
                      handle-select-window))
              (and (symbolp this-command)
                   (get this-command 'scroll-command)))
    (ring-insert es-full-command-history
                 (cons (key-description (this-command-keys))
                       this-command))))

(defun es-full-command-history (&rest ignore)
  (interactive)
  (with-current-buffer
      (get-buffer-create "*all-commands-history*")
    (let ((inhibit-read-only t))
      (erase-buffer)
      (cl-dolist (elem (ring-elements es-full-command-history))
        (pp elem (current-buffer)))
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (switch-to-buffer (current-buffer))
      (special-mode)
      (setq-local revert-buffer-function 'es-full-command-history))))

(add-hook 'post-command-hook 'es-full-command-history-register)
