We could probably craft an intercept for ! and !! to do that. No
promises until someone writes code.
With respect to the minibuffer, that is trickier, since it's
modal-free, usually.
Which commands are you referring to? dump, or help, or? (help can be
faked by using ?, but dump would be a bit of a challenge, though one
could also imagine an intercept for that one as well).
