	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Object that holds the project-independent editor settings. These settings are generally visible in the [b]Editor &gt; Editor Settings[/b] menu.
		Property names use slash delimiters to distinguish sections. Setting values can be of any [Variant] type. It's recommended to use [code]snake_case[/code] for editor settings to be consistent with the Godot editor itself.
		Accessing the settings can be done using the following methods, such as:
		[codeblock]
		# `settings.set("some/property", value)` also works as this class overrides `_set()` internally.
		settings.set_setting("some/property",value)

		# `settings.get("some/property", value)` also works as this class overrides `_get()` internally.
		settings.get_setting("some/property")

		var list_of_settings = settings.get_property_list()
		[/codeblock]
		[b]Note:[/b] This class shouldn't be instantiated directly. Instead, access the singleton using [method EditorInterface.get_editor_settings].

	<methods>
		<method name="add_property_info">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="info" type="Dictionary" />
			<description>
				Adds a custom property info to a property. The dictionary must contain:
				- [code]name[/code]: [String] (the name of the property)
				- [code]type[/code]: [int] (see [enum Variant.Type])
				- optionally [code]hint[/code]: [int] (see [enum PropertyHint]) and [code]hint_string[/code]: [String]
				[b]Example:[/b]
				[codeblock]
				editor_settings.set("category/property_name", 0)

				var property_info = {
				    "name": "category/property_name",
				    "type": TYPE_INT,
				    "hint": PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM,
				    "hint_string": "one,two,three"
				}

				editor_settings.add_property_info(property_info)
				[/codeblock]

		<method name="erase">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="property" type="String" />
			<description>
				Erases the setting whose name is specified by [code]property[/code].

		<method name="get_favorites" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="PoolStringArray" />
			<description>
				Returns the list of favorite files and directories for this project.

		<method name="get_project_metadata" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Variant" />
			<argument index="0" name="section" type="String" />
			<argument index="1" name="key" type="String" />
			<argument index="2" name="default" type="Variant" default="null" />
			<description>
				Returns project-specific metadata for the [code]section[/code] and [code]key[/code] specified. If the metadata doesn't exist, [code]default[/code] will be returned instead. See also [method set_project_metadata].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_project_settings_dir" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns the project-specific settings path. Projects all have a unique subdirectory inside the settings path where project-specific settings are saved.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_recent_dirs" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="PoolStringArray" />
			<description>
				Returns the list of recently visited folders in the file dialog for this project.

		<method name="get_setting" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Variant" />
			<argument index="0" name="name" type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns the value of the setting specified by [code]name[/code]. This is equivalent to using [method Object.get] on the EditorSettings instance.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_settings_dir" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>
				Gets the global settings path for the engine. Inside this path, you can find some standard paths such as:
				[code]settings/tmp[/code] - Used for temporary storage of files
				[code]settings/templates[/code] - Where export templates are located

		<method name="has_setting" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<argument index="0" name="name" type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the setting specified by [code]name[/code] exists, [code]false[/code] otherwise.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="property_can_revert">
			<return type="bool" />
			<argument index="0" name="name" type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the setting specified by [code]name[/code] can have its value reverted to the default value, [code]false[/code] otherwise. When this method returns [code]true[/code], a Revert button will display next to the setting in the Editor Settings.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="property_get_revert">
			<return type="Variant" />
			<argument index="0" name="name" type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns the default value of the setting specified by [code]name[/code]. This is the value that would be applied when clicking the Revert button in the Editor Settings.

			<description>
				Sets the initial value of the setting specified by [code]name[/code] to [code]value[/code]. This is used to provide a value for the Revert button in the Editor Settings. If [code]update_current[/code] is true, the current value of the setting will be set to [code]value[/code] as well.

			<argument index="2" name="data" type="Variant" />
			<description>
				Sets project-specific metadata with the [code]section[/code], [code]key[/code] and [code]data[/code] specified. This metadata is stored outside the project folder and therefore won't be checked into version control. See also [method get_project_metadata].
