Resolves proposal #11897.
This allows for the
ALTorOPTION (macOS)key to be used as a way to drop@exportvariables automatically into the GDScript editor.CTRLtakes precedence, so having bothALTandCTRLpressed will create an@onreadyvariable.A possible extension of this implementation would be to automatically assign the corresponding node property to all nodes who share the same script in the current scene through the
_find_all_node_for_scriptmethod. However, a large issue is that you would have to wait for theproperty_list_changedsignal before actually applying anything, having to connect & disconnect independently for each node. In addition, I also found that setting the properties manually would not actually apply the changes properly, as saving the script/scene would reset these variables back to null. (Some advice as to how this could be implemented would be greatly appreciated 🙏)
