In Linux (I am using CentOS 7), there is a built in functionality to view all runnable commands. The command is run by pressing tab twice in the console followed by the prompt:
Display all 1130 possibilities? (y or n)
Pressing y outputs a huge list of commands to the console.
Is there a way to capture this output in a file?
Or is this list already stored locally? If so, how can I access this?

It seems compgen outputs duplicates: perhaps programs that appear in multiple locations in your PATH:
autocomplete says:
$ [tab][tab]
Display all 2328 possibilities? (y or n)
compgen says:
$ compgen -A function -abck | wc -l
2647
$ compgen -A function -abck | sort -u | wc -l
2328
I don't know if this is important for you.

The solution I chose was to run the command:
$ compgen -A function -abck | sort -u >> cmds.txt
which appends all runnable commands, functions and aliases to a text file cmds.txt
Taken from: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/948008/linux-command-to-list-all-available-commands-and-aliases
Edit: added sort -u to command to remove duplicates as suggested by glenn jackman
