How to make the suggestions menu appear automatically for all kind of files?

I would like to have an automatic drop down menu with the suggestions of possible words whenever I write something, but not when I am in Javascript, HTML or CSS mode (it already pops up automatically), but in a plain text file.

Is that possible to do?

I have tried to look at the settings file, but I have not found how to do it. Usually I have to press Ctrl + Space, and a pop up menus appears with some suggestions based on what you have typed so far (I guess).

VSCode doesn't currently support this. However, you can workaround using the following rules in your keybindings.json:

File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts

[
{ "key": "a", "command": "^editor.action.triggerSuggest", "when": "editorTextFocus" },
{ "key": "b", "command": "^editor.action.triggerSuggest", "when": "editorTextFocus" },
{ "key": "c", "command": "^editor.action.triggerSuggest", "when": "editorTextFocus" },
{ "key": "d", "command": "^editor.action.triggerSuggest", "when": "editorTextFocus" },
{ "key": "e", "command": "^editor.action.triggerSuggest", "when": "editorTextFocus" },
{ "key": "f", "command": "^editor.action.triggerSuggest", "when": "editorTextFocus" },
{ "key": "g", "command": "^editor.action.triggerSuggest", "when": "editorTextFocus" },
{ "key": "h", "command": "^editor.action.triggerSuggest", "when": "editorTextFocus" },
{ "key": "i", "command": "^editor.action.triggerSuggest", "when": "editorTextFocus" },
