EditorSettings

Inherits: Resource < Reference < Object

Object that holds the project-independent editor settings.

Description

Object that holds the project-independent editor settings. These settings are generally visible in the Editor > Editor Settings menu.

Accessing the settings is done by using the regular Object API, such as:

settings.set(prop,value)
settings.get(prop)
list_of_settings = settings.get_property_list()

Note: This class shouldn’t be instantiated directly. Instead, access the singleton using EditorInterface.get_editor_settings.
