You can add ssh config for your vagrant host to ssh config.

1. Get ssh config for vagrant machine in vagrant folder: vagrant ssh-config

2. Open {UserDir}/.ssh/config and append there result from the previous command. Note: the first line Host default mean the alias which you will use later for ssh command. Name it as your vagrant machine or dir. If you have only one vagrant dir - you can name it Host vagrant

3. Ssh to vagrant: ssh vagrant. The last name is alias from the previous step.
