Cycle to previous suggestions in VSCode

Question

Hi, is there a way in Visual Studio Code to cycle to suggested keywords even when you already selected one of them (by clicking TAB multiple times)? This is possible in Sublime. In VSCode even with the keybindings of Sublime it does not work.

In the GIF above, in order to cycle through keywords, I pressed TAB several times, after typing 'hel' and 'he'

I think it is not possible to achieve this exact behavior out of the box. Even the Sublime Text Keymap does not support this. Maybe you want to open a new issue?
A possible workaround to achieve something similar could be to add custom keybindings. To enable toggling the suggestions via Tab and Shift + Tab you can add the following to your keybindings.json:

{
    "key": "tab",
    "command": "selectNextSuggestion",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && suggestWidgetMultipleSuggestions && suggestWidgetVisible"
},
{
    "key": "shift+tab",
    "command": "selectPrevSuggestion",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && suggestWidgetMultipleSuggestions && suggestWidgetVisible"
}

Update

Maybe macros can solve this. This enables you to chain multiple vscode commands into a single command. Then you can bind this new command to Tab.
