Hi,

I love the code inspections. I try to minimize the number of issues, improving my code quality and catching bugs before they cause trouble.

However, sometimes I need to silence a warning in code, e.g. when reinterpret_cast is the only way to do something. Typing something like the following is quite tedious

// NOLINTNEXTLINE(cppcoreguidelines-pro-type-reinterpret-cast)
const auto* bytes = reinterpret_cast<const unsigned char*>(buffer);


A simple improvement would be to get the checker name adding an option in the context menu when clicking on the issue in the "VA Code Inspection Results" window. When I have the checker name in the clipboard, I can google it or add the above NOLINT line.

Even better: Right-clicking on the issue in code has the option to generate the above exception. However, this is probably not as general. What if the user prefers NOLINTBEGIN and NOLINTEND.
