It is not a plugin, it is a built-in command: see

:help :redir

which gives you (in my gvim where 'lines' is set at 68) about one
screenful of variations with how to use them and what they do.

P.S. For a menu (of possible ex-command completions) on the status
line, see also
:help 'wildmenu'
:help 'wildmode'
and for a list of all possible completions to an ex-command, displayed
so that you see them all (unless they overshoot your whole screen)
:help c_CTRL-D
which is part of
:help cmdline-completion

Best regards,
Tony.

While it doesn't give external plugins, every command in vim should
be documented at the corresponding sub-section of

  :help index

If you want an ex-command, read up on ":help ex-cmd-index"; if you
want normal-mode keys, there's ":help normal-index", etc.

And as Shlomi mentioned, you can see what mappings/commands/functions
you have with

  :command
  :map
  :map!
  :function

The breadth of vim makes that a daunting bit of output, so you might
have better success searching the help for relevant terms.

Script to Show All Commands/Searchable

[Gary Furash]

In tools like UltraEdit or Atom or Sublime, there's a way to search a menu
of commands (i.e., all commands the program could do or could do via
plugins can be searched and chosen from if you don't remember the
command.). Is there something similar for VIM?

«:command» can list command-line commands and «:map» can list mappings. I
recall finding a script or a plugin that allows to put the outputs of commands
like that in a buffer, but I'll need to dig for it.
