EditorInterface

Inherits: Object

Godot editor's interface.

Description

EditorInterface gives you control over Godot editor's window. It allows customizing the window, saving and (re-)loading scenes, rendering mesh previews, inspecting and editing resources and objects, and provides access to EditorSettings, EditorFileSystem, EditorResourcePreview, ScriptEditor, the editor viewport, and information about scenes.

Note: This class shouldn't be instantiated directly. Instead, access the singleton directly by its name.

var editor_settings = EditorInterface.get_editor_settings()

Property Descriptions

bool distraction_free_mode

  • void set_distraction_free_mode ( bool value )

  • bool is_distraction_free_mode_enabled ( )

If true, enables distraction-free mode which hides side docks to increase the space available for the main view.

bool movie_maker_enabled

  • void set_movie_maker_enabled ( bool value )

  • bool is_movie_maker_enabled ( )

If true, the Movie Maker mode is enabled in the editor. See MovieWriter for more information.

Method Descriptions

void edit_node ( Node node )

Edits the given Node. The node will be also selected if it's inside the scene tree.

void edit_resource ( Resource resource )

Edits the given Resource. If the resource is a Script you can also edit it with edit_script to specify the line and column position.

void edit_script ( Script script, int line=-1, int column=0, bool grab_focus=true )

Edits the given Script. The line and column on which to open the script can also be specified. The script will be open with the user-configured editor for the script's language which may be an external editor.

Control get_base_control ( ) const

Returns the main container of Godot editor's window. For example, you can use it to retrieve the size of the container and place your controls accordingly.

Warning: Removing and freeing this node will render the editor useless and may cause a crash.

EditorCommandPalette get_command_palette ( ) const

Returns the editor's EditorCommandPalette instance.

Warning: Removing and freeing this node will render a part of the editor useless and may cause a crash.

String get_current_directory ( ) const

Returns the current directory being viewed in the FileSystemDock. If a file is selected, its base directory will be returned using String.get_base_dir instead.

String get_current_feature_profile ( ) const

Returns the name of the currently activated feature profile. If the default profile is currently active, an empty string is returned instead.

In order to get a reference to the EditorFeatureProfile, you must load the feature profile using EditorFeatureProfile.load_from_file.

Note: Feature profiles created via the user interface are loaded from the feature_profiles directory, as a file with the .profile extension. The editor configuration folder can be found by using EditorPaths.get_config_dir.

String get_current_path ( ) const

Returns
