Artificial gravity and inertia negation

In my universe, spaceships use a device that can generate a bubble of gravity that is homogeneous and unidirectional. You can manipulate the direction and intensity of gravity in any way you want. The end result is convenient Earth-like gravity everywhere on the ship.

Spaceships commonly use gravity assist for acceleration and deceleration. Because humans are squishy by nature, that puts hard limits on how much you can accelerate, which is hardly ideal.

So, is it possible to use my artificial gravity generator to negate inertia? Preferably so that you wouldn't be able to feel a significant difference (alternatively, an unpleasant difference) between dead stop and full throttle, or that a coffee mug on a table wouldn't spill everywhere.

Bonus question: what other uses could such an artificial gravity generator have?
