Add ability to access commands without typing

[sirgru]

AFAIK the only way to access commands from different extensions is through the use of command palette. This works like a big bag of commands that we filter to the commands we want.

It would be better to be able to access the commands through some other more structured way, instead of having to type them every time or use history. Having to remember the wording for the concepts extension developers made is a pain point. Also, the commands are not discoverable in this way. Currently the team has refused to add a basic toolbar, which I consider a common sense feature. #41309 To achieve this basic functionality people put commands in the status bar, which is a hacky inconvenient way. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=fabiospampinato.vscode-commands

Irrespective of the toolbar feature, I propose another menu "Commands" where commands from different extensions are automatically added and grouped by extension name. This would aid in discoverability and also users wouldn't have to waste time typing command names.

Could you please add "Accessibility" label to this issue? It's difficult for me to use the keyboard all the time.
