As of Xcode 16.3 it seems Copy Symbol Name and Copy Qualified Symbol Name have been removed from the context menu.

I see they're still under Edit > Copy in the Menu Bar, but this location seems far less accessible.

Is there a setting to return them to the context menu? I use these on a daily basis, and I find this change to be frustrating.

Hi! They're there as alternate items. You can get them to appear by holding option, shift, or option+shift while the menu is visible. I hope this helps!
