How to set markdown snippet trigger automatically

Question

According to the official document, https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/markdown

Snippets for Markdown

There are several built-in Markdown snippets included in VS Code - press Ctrl+Space (Trigger Suggest) and you get a context specific list of suggestions.

Does there any way, trigger snippet automatically when I type word, because it's troublesome, press Ctrl+Space

Is there some reason you don't want to override Trigger Suggest with your own keybinding? — Red Riding Hood

This is final alternative,because I'm used to keep default short cut. If there is no auto trigger option, I will do that. — Miles

Try setting:

"[markdown]": {
  "editor.quickSuggestions": {
    "other": true,
    "comments": false,
    "strings": true
  },
},

This enables IntelliSense automatically when you start typing. By default, this will show snippets and word based suggestions (suggestions based on words in the current document). To disable word based suggestions, set:

"[markdown]": {
    "editor.quickSuggestions": true,
    "editor.wordBasedSuggestions": false
}

You can also set:

"editor.snippetSuggestions": "top"

If you always want snippets to show before word base suggestions

Additionally I've found that installing and enabling the yzhang.markdown-all-in-one also enables search of some snippet prefixes (e.g. //1, //2) that would otherwise not appear.

There is an inconsistency in VS Code and it is a known issue. Markdown snippets do not get auto-completion. Probably it will be fixed in next release.

Yes this is an inconsistency. Full extensions get auto (7x24) completion by default (e.g. latex, cake), some built-in extensions like Markdown do not.
