Plugin Development

Basics

Creating a new plugin is best done through the ProjectSettings under Plugins > Create (top right)

Messing up the editor nodes happens quite a lot. When it does, you can use the Reload Current Project button from the top menu > Project. If it happens often, you can also set a shortcut for it. Useful in combination with that is the EditorSetting (not project) to re-open all scenes which were previously open. You can find it under this path interface/scene_tabs/restore_scenes_on_load

@tool
extends EditorPlugin

var last_path := []


func _process(delta: float) -> void:
	# Optimally just do this on button press or connected to a signal
	var new_path := get_inspector_full_selected_path()

2. Customizing icons and appearance of the FileSystemDock

How to change icons, their color, and other parts in the FileSystemDock

The easiest way to go about this is to switch the underlying icon which represents the file type.

extends EditorPlugin

func _enter_tree() -> void:
 var base_theme := get_editor_interface().get_base_control().theme

Adding context actions to the file system dock in a plugin

Note: This mini tutorial is for Godot 3.5. There are some changes that need to be made for Godot 4, check them out in this other gist

Since there is no built-in method to add context actions, we have to make our own.

To start, we need to get the file system dock. This can be done in the EditorPlugin. If we need it in any other script, we can just pass it to them.

extends TextEdit
var last_text: String
var last_selection: TextSelection

var autobrace_pairs := {
	"(": ")",
	"{": "}",
	"[": "]",
	'"': '"',
	"'": "'",

Making a tabbed EditorPlugin dock in Godot (3.5.x)

...seems simple enough:

Make a dock scene, load it, add it, done. Like any other dock, right?

extends EditorPlugin

var dock: Control

func _enter_tree():
