Description Viliam Durina

Build ID: 3.5 20090619-0625

If you right-click an identifier in the Java source code, there is an option to "Copy Qualified Name", which copies the identifier class along with package name to the clipboard.

I'd like to have this feature inside the Open Type dialog (Ctrl+Shift+T), e.g. in context menu. I sometimes need full class name to paste to a properties file, currently I need to open the class in the editor and copy it from there.

Thanks

Move to JDT/UI

We need to be careful if we start to add Java element actions to the open type context menu.

Yep, up to now, we don't have context menu actions on Java elements in dialogs. If we do this, at least Copy should also be available. And if a keybinding is defined, it should work as well.

See bug 404349 for the general request.

+1 for this request! I commonly use Open Type dialog to find the fully qualified name of a type when I only know its short name. At the moment, all I can do is notate what Eclipse tells me... but I'd be super helpful to allow me to right-click and copy it out.

Ping. This ticket is still important to me. Today, I wanted to copy out the class name for an item in my Open Type dialog, but was still surprised the context menu does not provide any copy behavior.
