Suppress only some types of warnings, e.g. for vspace

[c-bg]

tl: dr: I'd like it if one could suppress a specific type of warning, in particular warnings for using \vspace.
I checked the wiki but only found an option for disabling all warning boxes.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. use the \vspace{} command
2. see warning/problem box with \vspace should only be used to provide space above/below surrounding objects.

Describe the solution you'd like

An option for suppressing this type of warning for an entire project, or for a specific line.
possible implementation for the latter:

%  latex-workshop-suppress: vspace   % suppresses the warning for the following line. <vspace> can be replaced with the concrete warning name
\vspace{-1cm} asdf

Thanks a lot for maintaining this extension, I find it very useful! :)

These warnings are generated by the linter chktex. To suppress specific warnings, please refer to chktex documentation.

Thanks so much for your prompt and helpful reply.
Perfect, I see, I'll look into this.

For anyone wondering about the same, here's what you can do.

1. Identify the warning number that should be suppressed
   You can find a list of all warning numbers/warnings in the chktex docs.

2. Open settings.json
   In VS Code, hit ctrl+shift+p/mac: cmd+shift+p -> Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)

3. Call chktex with warning suppression
   Tell LaTeX-Workshop to call chktex with the -n <warning-number> argument (-n = --no-warn), additionally to the default arguments ["-wall", "-n22", "-n30", "-e16", "-q"]. You can do this by adding the following line inside the outermost pair of { } brackets in the JSON;
   simply replace the warning number with the one you found before.

   "latex-workshop.chktex.exec.args": ["-wall", "-n22", "-n30", "-e16", "-q", "-n", "<warning-number>"],
