How to use auto completion in Eclipse adding fully qualified name

Question

How can I use auto completion in Eclipse adding fully qualified name?

In order to avoid sonar/checkstyle (Unused Imports) issues, we've got the policy to use the fully qualified name in Javadoc.

I'm looking for a method still using auto completion. Something like pressing Shift-key while using auto completion?

Changing settings always using the fully qualified name is not an option, only required in Javadoc comments.

As a workaround to your problem, you can configure Eclipse to automatically remove unnecessary imports whenever you are saving a file (Window - Preferences - Java - Editor - Save Actions - Configure, then in the Unnecessary Code tab, make sure Remove unused imports is checked). Once this is done you can remove the check for unused imports in checkstyle.

I agree this isn't quite what you asked for, but at least you would still make you have no unused imports (assuming everyone on your team configure Eclipse the same way).
