If a property's name is path-like (i.e. if it contains forward slashes), **EditorInspector** will create nested sections for "directories" along the path. For example, if a property is named ``highlighting/gdscript/node_path_color``, it will be shown as "Node Path Color" inside the "GDScript" section nested inside the "Highlighting" section. If a property has :ref:`@GlobalScope.PROPERTY_USAGE_GROUP` usage, it will group subsequent properties whose name starts with the property's hint string. The group ends when a property does not start with that hint string or when a new group starts. An empty group name effectively ends the current group. **EditorInspector** will create a top-level section for each group. For example, if a property with group usage is named ``Collide With`` and its hint string is ``collide_with_``, a subsequent ``collide_with_area`` property will be shown as "Area" inside the "Collide With" section. There is also a special case: when the hint string contains the name of a property, that property is grouped too. This is mainly to help grouping properties like ``font``, ``font_color`` and ``font_size`` (using the hint string ``font_``). If a property has :ref:`@GlobalScope.PROPERTY_USAGE_SUBGROUP` usage, a subgroup will be created in the same way as a group, and a second-level section will be created for each subgroup. \ **Note:** Unlike sections created from path-like property names, **EditorInspector** won't capitalize the name for sections created from groups. So properties with group usage usually use capitalized names instead of snake_cased names. .. rst-class:: classref-reftable-group Properties ---------- .. table:: :widths: auto +----------------------------------------------------+------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ScrollMode` | horizontal_scroll_mode | ``0`` (overrides :ref:`ScrollContainer`) | +----------------------------------------------------+------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ .. rst-class:: classref-reftable-group Methods ------- .. table:: :widths: auto +-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`String` | :ref:`get_selected_path` **(** **)** |const| | +-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ .. rst-class:: classref-section-separator ---- .. rst-class:: classref-descriptions-group Signals ------- .. _class_EditorInspector_signal_edited_object_changed: .. rst-class:: classref-signal **edited_object_changed** **(** **)** Emitted when the object being edited by the inspector has changed. .. rst-class:: classref-item-separator ---- .. _class_EditorInspector_signal_object_id_selected: .. rst-class:: classref-signal **object_id_selected** **(** :ref:`int` id **)** Emitted when the Edit button of an :ref:`Object` has been pressed in the inspector.

Since this property is always enabled in the editor inspector, this signal is never emitted by the editor itself. .. rst-class:: classref-item-separator ---- .. _class_EditorInspector_signal_resource_selected: .. rst-class:: classref-signal **resource_selected** **(** :ref:`Resource` resource, :ref:`String` path **)** Emitted when a resource is selected in the inspector. .. rst-class:: classref-item-separator ---- .. _class_EditorInspector_signal_restart_requested: .. rst-class:: classref-signal **restart_requested** **(** **)** Emitted when a property that requires a restart to be applied is edited in the inspector.
