It would be nice for VAX to be able to copy a fully qualified struct/enum name, enum value, etc to the clipboard.

For example:
namespace some_library
{
    struct some_class
    {
        enum
        {
            some_value = 1
        };
    };
}

putting the cursor within the some_value and selecting the copy fully-qualified name command would put "::some_library::some_class::some_value" in the clipboard.

The context field helps to some degree, but uses a dot as the separator instead of the double-colon. I have used the mouse to select the text in the context field and then do a copy/paste/replace, but it would be nice if it could be a one-step operation.

Thanks for listening.

as a work around can you produce a macro to do this job for you? i have just tried recording a macro in .NET 2003 to do the whole process, but it does not play back reliably. you would probably have to write the macro VB directly to get it to work reliably.

still you should be able to automate at least part of this with a carefully crafted macro.
