### Action IDs
Every action and action group has a unique identifier.
Basing the identifier for a custom action on the fully qualified name of the implementation is the best practice, assuming the package incorporates the [`<id>`](plugin_configuration_file.md#idea-plugin__id) of the plugin.
Including the plugin identifier in the action identifier should prevent it from clashing with other plugins' actions.
An action must have a unique identifier for each place.
It is used in the IDE UI, even though the FQN of the implementation is the same.
Definitions of identifiers for the standard IntelliJ Platform actions are in [`IdeActions`](%gh-ic%/platform/ide-core/src/com/intellij/openapi/actionSystem/IdeActions.java).
Each action and action group must have a unique identifier (see the `id` attribute specification for [`action`](plugin_configuration_file.md#idea-plugin__actions__action) and [`group`](plugin_configuration_file.md#idea-plugin__actions__group)).
An action requires a unique identifier for every context where it appears in the IDE UI, even if the implementation FQN is shared.
Standard IntelliJ Platform action IDs are defined in [`IdeActions`](%gh-ic%/platform/ide-core/src/com/intellij/openapi/actionSystem/IdeActions.java).
### Grouping Actions

The fields of the form are:
* <control>Action ID</control> - Every action must have a unique ID.
* <control>Action ID</control> - Every action must have a unique [ID](plugin_configuration_file.md#idea-plugin__actions__action).
If the action class is used in only one place in the IDE UI, then the class fully qualified name (FQN) is a good default for the ID.
Using the action class in multiple places requires mangling the ID, such as adding a suffix to the FQN, for each ID.
