Proposed patch - adds command prefix as postfix to the name

I like to propose a patch to solve this issue.

See the patch and screenshot. It adds the command prefix as postfix to the name.

Good idea.
I've discussed the changes with Jan Peska and we concluded that having the command prefix in brackets will be more consistent with the rest of the IDE.
We've also added a tooltip to make the feature more discoverable.

Hopefully, more people will now know that they can use command prefixes in the quick search field. Thank you very much.
