Instructions for Enabling Lint On Change Are Not Clear

[dprothero]

Describe the bug
Linting isn't running automatically while I type in a Markdown file, even though I have "Editor: Format On Type" turned on.

I am also running the markdownlint extension, and it is linting in real time as I type.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open any Markdown file
2. Type a sentence with a grammar issue (e.g. this sentence doesn't start with a capital letter.)
3. Linting is NOT run
4. Save the Markdown file
5. Now, linting runs.

Expected behavior
I would expect the linting to run as I'm typing, similar to how markdownlint does.

Screenshots
The appropriate setting IS enabled:

Demonstration of the issue:

Environment & Configuration (please complete the following information):

• OS + Version: Mac 11.6
• VS Code Version: 1.61.0
• LanguageTool Linter Version: 0.18.0
• LanguageTool Version: unsure, just ran docker command, so using "latest" image
• Service Configuration: local docker instance
• Service Classpath (if 'managed'): N/A

Thanks for opening this issue! I looked at the README again, and I think I left out some instructions. There are 2 other toggles that you can check to enable linting on-demand and linting on open, but they're under the "LanguageTool Linter" settings specifically. Can you check to see if one or both of these are enabled, and if not, if enabling the "Lint On Change" fixes the issue? They are off by default.

YES. That did the trick! Thanks for the quick reply.

You bet! I'm going to leave this open and change to title to fix the documentation. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
