RSRP-33763 Ctrl+N dialog does not accept fully qualified name of a class

Issue is visible to: All Users

Ctrl+N dialog does not accept fully qualified name of a class.
Maybe, it is by design?
But I need a cool window where I can pase FQN and navigate to the source.
Ctrl+N dialog looks like a suitable palce for it.

Use the following rule: if text in dialog contains period, treat it as FQN.

Matching rules:

If pattern contains ".":

use FQN for the match, otherwise use Short Name.
dots separating namespaces may be ommited, i.e. SD. and S.D. match same set of namespaces.
namespace pattern should match any part of namespace, but not in the middle of the identifier

E.g:

SD.P matches System.Drawing.Point, but not JetBrains.ReSharper.TextControl.Graphics.Point
S.ISP matches System.IServiceProvider, System.Security.ISecurityPolicyEncodable, and System.Configuration.ISettingsProviderService
TC. should match "JetBrains.ReSharper.TextControl", "J.R.TextControl.Actions", etc. But not "J.R.AdvancedToolContainer". Using "*TC." should match "AdvancedToolContainer".

All in all, rules should be thought out better and experimental implementation should be done for dogfooding.
