Interface manual basics

[vgezer]

This is an initiative to have a detailed manual on editor's interface elements. Which menu does what, where to find a specific tool, etc.

Currently, some useful functionality is discovered by accident. By looking at the merged PRs of such items (e.g., menu items or toolbar buttons) as well as the source code, I am trying to document the usage of each interface element in different sections.

Currently on this page we on this page: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/editor/index.html, we have:

Using the Project Manager
The Inspector
Project Settings
Default editor shortcuts
Customizing the interface

No usage of the menus, toolbars etc. I have currently the following items, still WIP:

Editor's Interface:

• Project Manager
• Editor's Interface

Interface Elements:

• Main menus

• Workspace selector

• Playtest buttons and renderer

• Scene switcher

• Bottom panel

  Default panels, from scratch, or reference to existing pages

• Docks:

• Scene Dock (separate commit)

• Import

• FileSystem

• Inspector

• Node

• History

Each dock on its own page, either new page, or reference to existing pages.

Customization:

• Project Settings (currently almost no info is there)
• Default editor shortcuts (if Add a tool to automatically find shortcuts from the source code godot#94130 gets merged, it will automatically be updated)
• Customizing the interface (e.g., new floating options, closing and reopening docks.)

I think it makes sense to have an overview of all interfaces, elements including (basic) usage.

PS: There are also tools to be documented, such as Orphan Resource Explorer, Docks themselves, or some optimization topics such as Customize run instance, but I think this should be the starting point.

Some initial feedback, needs some extensive work for grammar and wording and will go over again when I find the time
