Change shortcut for next/previous element in autocompletion pop-up Visual Studio 2019

Hello! I want to change the shortcut used to select the next/previous autocompletion item in the pop-up.
Right now the shortcut is up-arrow and down-arrow. I want to change it to ctrl+i and ctrl+j respectively.

I've tried searching in the Keyboard settings under Environment, but didn't seemed to find a function for this. Is there a way of doing this? Thanks.

    Hi @Simon Sanchez ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    For your requirement, you can customize a keyboard shortcut by go to Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard > assign Alt + I and Alt + J to ”Edit.LineUp” and “Edit.LineDown” commands.
    (Based on my testing, I suggest you use Alt + I and Alt + J shortcut.)
