Add feature: copy fully qualified name

[yaohaizh]

From the user @mojo2012 logged on the debugger side:

I often need to copy a classes fully qualified name, eg. to put into a spring.xml file.

Best would be to have it directly in the context menu when right-clicking on a class name.

I think should work on pretty much anything actually:

• class name
• method name
• variable name
• annotation name
• package name

It should work equally on declarations, definitions, assignments and usage instances.

Is there a timeline on when this feature will be available?

Btw, this extension provides the feature: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=YouMayCallMeV.vscode-java-saber

You can hover on the class name and copy the fully qualified name from the popup window

Thanks for the hint, I'll check it out asap (right now I'm back to eclipse for now).

My 2 cents:

• The linked Java Saber extension doesn't seem to work correctly - see Copy qualified name` doesn't work correctly jiangdequan/vscode-java-ide#24.
• Using the Copy FQN extension instead: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sandipchitale.vscode-fqn. It only doesn't work for fields - because the popup, on which the extension relies, displays just field's type and name.

IMHO, this is the very basic function of every good Java IDE. Are there really no plans to implement it?

These are very convenient features, is there any updates on this?
