The document wrote,

The command name may be abbreviated, with ambiguities being resolved in favour of the more commonly used commands

but I can't find exact list.

I know some of them but I want to know if there is the full list available. The command with ? means ther are more than one suggesstions when tab-completion.

:a -> ?
:b -> ?
:c -> ?
:de -> ?
:e -> :edit
:for -> ?
:h -> :help
:i -> :info
:l -> :load
:m -> :module
:r -> :reload
:s -> :script
:t -> :type
:un -> ?
:where -> undocumented, found by completion, don't know what it is for
ghci ghc haskell

I checked ghc source file, and found stdin input is processed by

runGHIC -> runGHCiInput -> ghciCompleteWord -> lookupCompletion -> lookupCommand'

At the end of lookupCommand

  -- first, look for exact match (while preferring macros); then, look
  -- for first prefix match (preferring builtins), *unless* a macro
  -- overrides the builtin; see #8305 for motivation
  return $ lookupExact str xcmds <|>
           lookupExact str ghci_cmds <|>
           (builtinPfxMatch >>= \c -> lookupExact (cmdName c) xcmds) <|>
           builtinPfxMatch <|>
           lookupPrefix str xcmds

Basically, it first lookup exact match, then prefix match in order. So for normal :xxx command, it follows ghci_cmds order, which is availableCommands in GhciSettings, i.e.

  ("unset",     keepGoing unsetOptions,         completeSetOptions),
  ("where",     keepGoing whereCmd,             noCompletion)

so :c means :cd, :d means :def, follow the order.
