Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

The golangci-lint tool use //nolint: machine readable comments to disable linter checks for line or block. This is useful to avoid false positives for specific file.

When saving, the comment is reformatted to // nolint:. This make things worse since golangci-lint does not treat this as comment, and it adds 2 extra failures for not formatting the nolint comment properly.

This may need to be fixed by golangci-lint by accepting // nolint:, but I think the formatter should be smarter about such comments since this is a very popular tool.

It seems that the formatter need to learn about //nolint: comments by default, or support anything with this pattern: ^//[\w+]:.

This is a pretty bad bug - your options are:

• Use another editor to edit the file and fix the broken comment
• Change the code to avoid lint issue
• Disable the specific linter globally in the project

All options are bad.
