Default Code autocompletion is great! Would like more shortcuts.

Two suggestions:

1.
Autocomplete is great. But it will not immediately give your hints after you type the first letter. it will give you hints only after you type several letters. Maybe Flexsim has some internal control parameters for how many letters you should type before giving your hints. But I guess that could be a parameter putting in the Global Preference. And also the autocomplete is case-sensitive. I'd like it to be case-insensitive. But someone else may like the current one. This could also be an option in the Global Preference.

2.
For run speed control, it would be nice to add short cuts, say:
Ctrl + 1 to set simulation run speed to be 1
Ctrl + ` to set simulation run speed to be infinity

I like this idea from Alan, but than I suggest to use for unlimited a key you can reach also on foreign keyboards easily so maybe better not to use special keys (for ' you need to press shift # to reach it on a German keyboard), e.g.
Ctrl + 0 for umlimited speed would be my suggestion, because stop is Ctrl + space.

I want short cuts to move objects, say:

ctrl + -> move to right.
