compgen as a command would be able to generate, for example, anything
that would be completed by typing TAB in bash (equivalent to ctrl-D as
in vim). But compgen is a command rather than key combinations. I
don't see vim command that would be able to print all the commands had
one typed ctrl-D. In other words, I am looking an equivalent of
compgen of bash in vim, rather than an equivalent of TAB of bash in
vim. Does this make sense?

~$ compgen -c ls
ls
ls
lsof
lsappinfo
lsbom
lsm
lsvfs
ls
