autocomplete - Visual Studio Code: Use tab (instead of arrow keys) to select Intellisense Suggestions?

Question

Much like in ipython, is it possible in VScode to use tab to select options from intellisense instead of using arrow keys?

In your keybindings.json:

  {
    "key": "tab",
    "command": "selectNextSuggestion",
    "when": "suggestWidgetMultipleSuggestions && suggestWidgetVisible && textInputFocus"
  },
  {
    "key": "down",
    "command": "-selectNextSuggestion",
    "when": "suggestWidgetMultipleSuggestions && suggestWidgetVisible && textInputFocus"
  },
    {
    "key": "ctrl+tab",
    "command": "selectPrevSuggestion",
    "when": "suggestWidgetMultipleSuggestions && suggestWidgetVisible && textInputFocus"
  },
  {
    "key": "up",
    "command": "-selectPrevSuggestion",
    "when": "suggestWidgetMultipleSuggestions && suggestWidgetVisible && textInputFocus"
  }
