Hello Visual Studio Code developers! I love vscode!
The feature I am requesting is a tab behavior from Vim's YouCompleteMe plugin. This feature request is a complete duplicate of issue #34694 (@andreyorst).
I am doing this here because #34694 was mistakenly marked as a duplicate of #28215 and closed. However, it is NOT. And because #34694 was closed, I couldn't comment on it or reopen it. So I am creating this new feature request. The feature was clearly described in #34694, and in #28215's comment from @andreyorst. I think it's OK to leave this feature request in low priority. And I really hope to have it in vscode one day. But at least it should not be mistakenly closed like #34694.
Adding a bit of illustration, since this issue is almost impossible to find...
What's requested: Tab/shift-tab cycle through completions without closing completion list:

Current behavior with "editor.tabCompletion": "on":
