tamil99 users don't think of the characters on the qwerty keyboard when
they're typing. They operate on a mental map of the keyboard---something
like

So, to be honest, the suggestion of possible next candidates is not very
informative for the tamil99 input method. In fact, it's quite a
distraction. So, I wouldn't mind disabling the suggestions if
possible. Is it possible?
