I do not think that there is a difference of using gerund or infinitive after "suggest", though there is a slight difference when it comes to the verbs of emotion (hate), completion/incompletion (start, continue, stop), and remembering (remember, forget, regret).

Suggest to edit is not a grammatically viable phrase. Only the second example here is workable.

Yes; that use of "suggest" + infinitive is unidiomatic.

You sometimes see this structure (from Google):

1. What Do You Suggest To Remember How To Communicate Telepathically?

This is an ellipsis for:

2. What do you suggest to remember how to communicate telepathically?
