+hit `<c-l>` while in the ex commandline (i.e. after pressing `:`) to have fzf filter a list of vim's commandline auto-completions. Try `:colo␣<c-l>` (be sure to include the space) or `:b␣<c-l>`. There are special cases for handling file-searches, so that you can go deeper into the directory than just one layer. More special cases could be added. Some limitations: the auto-complete for `:help` and `:tag` are limited to 300 entries, so you may need to narrow it a bit.
