I wish I could, I know only some Java/JavaFX/C# basics.

I think you didn't understand well what I meant, What I mean not creating a
menu with list of commands, I said to have a separate window with search bar at
top and list of commands at center, the list contains only commands content as
texts, so when user type something in the search bar the commands that
correspond to entered text appear bellow, then user selects the correct item by
pressing enter or double click with mouse which will just copy the content of
the command to the terminal then the user executes the command in the terminal
by pressing enter.

I demonstrated what I meant with Copyq and Konsole in the attached video.
(unfortunately Copyq saves all copied texts from desktop in one list and does
not have specific list for only commands)
