Directory Opus has the best solution I've seen so far.

The list is very long and finding the right commands can be cumbersome because they are cluttered (alphabetically) throughout the list. E.g "First page" and "Last page" are very relateds but they are far away from each other in the alphabetical list.

In the Commands tab it filters commands that are displayed in the list, and in the Keys tab it filters based on a hotkey you enter – this makes it very easy to locate the entry for a specific hotkey. For example, on the Commands tab you can type words in to find related commands and on the Hotkeys tab you can push qualifier keys (Alt, Shift, Ctrl) and/or letters to see the hotkeys which include the things you pushed.

At the bottom of the Customize dialog (when it's showing the Commands page) is a field that lets you filter the commands list.
When you enter one or more keywords in the field and press the Enter key the list will be filtered to only show those commands whose name or description contains the keyword(s). This can make it very easy to find a pre-defined command when you remember its name but not what category it is in. To clear the filter either press Escape when the cursor is in the field, or click the little X button at the right-hand end of the field.
