    Description

      The All Qt C++ Classes and All QML Types lists currently show the module name only when the identical class/type name exists in multiple modules. For example:

      Camera: Qt3D 
      Camera: QtMultimedia 
      Camera: QtQuick3D 
      Camera3D
      ...

      It would be useful to indicate the model for the other cases as well. When I'm looking for a type in that list, I have a good idea of which module(s) I am working with, but I don't necessarily know the exact name of the class/type. In the list above, is Camera3D relevant for me, is it Qt3D or QtQuick3D? (Surprise answer: Data Visualization)

      If I know the class/type I want is in a particular module, of course I can go to the classes/types list for that module, but I don't necessarily know that. (E.g. what's the exact boundary between QtQuick and QtQml?) Another issue is that the module lists are more cumbersome to read/navigate, but maybe that deserves its own report
