copy fully qualified class name

CtrlAltShift+C - copy reference

Ctrl-Alt-Shift-C uses /  forward slash for me.  How can I get the dots instead?

thanks!

maybe sometimes dots would be nice instead of / ;)

Depends on where you copy to :)
- Copy reference (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-C) uses dots (fully qualified name)
- Copy reference to IDEA editor magically inserts necessary imports etc.
- you can even press Ctrl-C in the popup menus (Ctrl-N etc.) and then
insert the reference. Nice if searching for symbols.
- Copy path (Ctrl-Shift-C) copies the path
... surely more

Ctrl-Alt-Shift-C shows a popup with "Cannot perform refactoring", still, copy reference should be smart enough to induct that it's java class so it should be dot separated not slash.

I can also say that copy reference doesn't work properly even when called from `ctrl+shift+a`. It just copies the class name.

eg: 

```

@Component
public class PharmaPurcha[cursor is right here]seOrderLineInputValidator implements IOrderLineInputValidator
{
```

when i `ctrl+v` the only thing pasted is `PharmaPurchaseOrderLineInputValidator` and not `the.fully.qualified.package.name.of.PharmaPurchaseOrderLineInputValidator`.

If it helps i am coding in a humongous maven project with more than 50 different modules named metasfresh: https://github.com/metasfresh/metasfresh

@Cristian Pasat Are you pasting to an IDEA Editor or to some different location? There is a known problem: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-137730 

please follow https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-137730 

IIRC, there is a plug-in, which does it.

Another little IDEA secret. Now I can get rid of another plugin.

CtrlAltShift+C - copy reference

Hello,

What action is mapped for "Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C" in your keymap? "Copy reference" uses dots on my machine.

@petr, it happens when i paste in idea, on windows.

I already have from the first link.

FYI the link you posted in both posts is half broken

wrong: `https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-137730%C2%A0`

correct: `https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-137730`

Copy refernce will have / if your cursor is not on the class name. If your cursor is on the class name then it will have dots. It is kind of strange idea implemented this way. 

bharat One can use the copied string to open it in a terminal, on GitHub, or somewhere else. That is why slashes could be needed and dots are not the only option. 

Its very simple and easy - which is not clearly mentioned in thread.

Select the class name or interface name for which you need the fully qualified path.

Now press CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + C to copy with dots the fully qualified name.
