In Visual Code (mac) is there a way to start at the second placeholder on a snippet?

Question

I love to use snippets in the form of:

println("MyVariable:" + MyVariable);

So I end up creating snippets like this:

SnippetBody:[ "printlns(\"$1:\" + $1);" ]

The problem is that I want the focus on the second $1 so the intellisense triggers. Since the focus is on the first $1 and it's a string, then there is no intellisense.

Thanks!

If all you want is for autocomplete to work on strings, you can look at the settings and set:

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

Then you start typing and use CtrlSpace to trigger the list.
