Add a new method for EditorInspector "get_object_edited"

[RadiantUwU]

Would allow plugins to know which object is being edited, for a very useful case: live-editing, sending changes back to the server

Valid use:

@tool
extends EditorPlugin

func _print_property_edited(property: String):
	print(get_editor_interface().get_inspector().get_object_edited(),".",property)

func _enter_tree():
	# Initialization of the plugin goes here.
	get_editor_interface().get_inspector().property_edited.connect(_print_property_edited)


func _exit_tree():
	# Clean-up of the plugin goes here.
	get_editor_interface().get_inspector().property_edited.disconnect(_print_property_edited)

How is this different from get_edited_object?

Also you haven't actually added the bound method, only the binding, this won't work

There's already a method there called that, this already exists

See just a few lines above

This already is bound here:

godot/editor/editor_inspector.cpp

Line 996 in fe5b1c8

ClassDB::bind_method(D_METHOD("get_edited_object"), &EditorProperty::get_edited_object);
