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.

Being able to copy the name of the check is a good point, and this is a good reason for needing to do so:

case=166063

To see / confirm the name of the check, if you go to the Code Inspection Results window, and right click on the column headers, you can turn on showing the Checker column, which will show the name of the check.

For the comment line, I would try setting up a few different VA Snippets, all starting with the same few characters, one per check that you often need to disable. Then turn On the setting:

then you can type the common prefix for these snippets, and then pick the specific snippet you want for this particular place. I am working on the theory that there is only a handful of checks you normally need to enter a comment like this for, so the list to pick from will be small. Also, since you are using snippets, you can make sure the comments are formatted how you want.
