I remember being able to just press Tab and toggle through suggestions in iTerm2.
For example "cd" enter, then "u", then press tab and go through the folders:
users, utilities, ux, etc.
Instead now Tab opens a dropdown that i have to interact with hampering productivity.
Does anyone know how to get the old functionality back, or if it's a plugin or a setting that's the culprit?

In VSCode, the intellisense autocomplete suggestions occasionally pop up and prevent me from using the arrow keys to move my cursor up and down. Is there any way for me to disable the auto focusing of the suggestions until I push the tab key? (A.K.A: I want to be able to cycle through the autocomplete suggestions only after I push the tab key)
Under Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts, find and remove the keyboard shortcuts that associate the up and down arrow with "Next Suggestion" and "Prev Suggestion". You should no longer get your arrows hijacked by the suggestions and can then use the default alternative of ctrl+up or ctrl+down to navigate them. It won't toggle on Tab like you want, but it's a good workaround.
I am wandering to find the way to show integrated terminals in VS Code as tabs rather then dropdown, and give them names. Its a habit that come from WebStrom as on pic 1. Is it possible to do so? Now it looks like on pic 2, and there is no way to rename tabs which is also desirable.

Showing it as tabs is not possible currently according to this github issue. However, you can use an extension which shows terminal tabs at the bottom.
Inorder to rename a terminal,
Open the command palette by clicking CTRL+Shift+p and type "Terminal:Rename"
Click Enter you will get:
Enter the name you need and press Enter
Recently, I have noticed that Google Chrome's JavaScript console autocompletes previously inputted commands. For example:
I want to remove this feature because the autocomplete displays variables that may not exist. Is there a way to remove this feature?
Yes. A lot of people found it annoying, so they added a setting to disable it.
First, enter the DevTools settings from the menu button in the top right corner.
Then, in the "General" section, disable "Autocomplete from history".
When using eclipse, I often use the find/replace tool without touching the mouse. I'll press Ctrl+F, type the text I want to find, press tab, type the replacement text, then press Shift+Tab 3 times, to bring focus to the "replace all" button, then I press Space to perform the action and ESC to close the window.
Today, I tried this and tab will only switch between the "find" text box and the "replace with" text box, meaning I have to go to my mouse to perform the "replace all" action, which takes forever (comparatively). I have had this problem before, and thought I recalled a key binding that changes the focus traversal policy for eclipse, but I cant seem to find it now. Googling has turned up nothing, but I don’t think I am searching for the right terms. I don’t think this is OS related, but I am on a Mac.
Thanks in advance!
I finally found this. It was OS related- Mac has a setting to allow tab navigation through buttons.
System Preferences-> keyboard, at the bottom select "all controls"
If you're as lazy as I am, you don't want to go moving your hand every time you need a menu in Eclipse. Is there any way to navigate menus in Eclipse without moving your hands to the mouse or the arrow keys?
I've searched for key bindings for menu navigation (replacing Up/Down/Left/Right), but came up empty.
UPDATE
To clarify, I am familiar with a lot of the features mentioned in the answers, such as "Show Key Assist", and "Quick Access". I've found that the only time I'm ever really moving my hands is to navigate through a list of items, such as the Package Explorer or the Open Resource dialog. I haven't found any alternatives to the arrow keys for these actions.
I like to bind "Show Key Assist", and "Quick Access" to convenient keys, in order to get a list of all menus/commands/views accessible from the context I am currently in.
This isn't really a replacement from ALT+arrows, but it can help reduce the menu exploration you need to do in order to find the right action to launch.
As #VonC mentioned, I'd use Quick Access (CTRL+3) for most commands that don't already have a keyboard shortcut.
You can also use mnemonics to access most menu items. i.e. ALT+F P for print, or ALT+R N for the Run Configurations dialog.
F10 will open the left most menu on most OSes. CTRL+F10 will open the view menu from within a view, and the ruler menu in a text editor. SHIFT+F10 will open a context menu in almost all locations.

If you want to navigate between views of eclipse, you can use Ctrl+F7 & then up/down arrow keys to select the one. For 'Open Resource Dialog', you can use Ctrl+Shift+R.
