Settings to change the Tab or Alt keys would be nice. My client uses AAC (Grid 3) and his keyboard cant pick up the Alt key properly. Being able to change this key to ctrl or just the number to choose it and still having to click tab would be better for the thousands of people that use Grid 3

Green Megaphone I think that would be possible, but I'd like to understand a bit more about how you imagine this working with Enter. If you were to press Enter, would you want to see follow-up suggestions?
One of the issues we had with using Enter for accepting suggestions was that it would often be annoying that you cannot insert new lines without pressing Esc or otherwise hiding the popup before pressing Enter.
Just curious if that would be an issue for you or if you had any other details about how you imagine it working! I think there are some interesting compromises we could make in this area or simply let users decide what key they want to use at some point.
