Description of the new feature/enhancement

A command window that could execute aliased commands. Similar to VSCode's Ctrl-P.

This would be useful for features in the terminal that you have trouble finding comfortable bindings for or features that you might not use so often.

For instance

{ "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "vertical", "splitMode": "duplicate" }, "keys": "alt+shift+d" }

Could look something like this.

{ "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "vertical", "splitMode": "duplicate" }, "keys": "alt+shift+d", "alias": "vsplit" }

And vsplit would be listed as a possible command to execute.
