VSCode preview markdown by default

Question

99.999999999% of my work with markdown files is reading. Can I enable preview mode by default for this files?

Answer 1

I tried this in VS Code 1.48.1

Method 1

Open a markdown ( *.md ) file, then open the Command Palette and select >View: Reopen Editor With... > Markdown Preview (Experimental) .

Method 2

Add these lines to your settings.json file

{
    // your other settings ...
    "workbench.editorAssociations": [
        {
            "viewType": "vscode.markdown.preview.editor",
            "filenamePattern": "*.md"
        }
    ],
}
