3D and 2D particle simulator for physics showcase
Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project
The only place I feel Godot looks unpolished is the Scripts List. What I personally felt when I started learning, was how messy the script list became after some time, new scripts are suddenly opened, with no apparent reason, and the script list starts growing bigger and chaotic.
Turns out that's because every time you select a new scene, in the scene tab, Godot opens the script of the topmost scene node. Fortunately, this can be disabled in Editor settings -> Text Editor -> Behavior ->Open Dominant Script On Scene Change, and after I discovered this, it became so much cleaner and pleasing to manage scripts.
Back in 2016, these gentlemen thought the same (godotengine/godot#3638):
My proposal is to make this option disabled by default or at least close the automatically opened scripts as proposed in the closed PR godotengine/godot#3638. This way there's no tendency of the Script List growing larger over time. I'm just thinking about new users experience!
Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation
Make "Open Dominant Script on Scene Change" disabled by default
Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams
Well, it might just be a simple boolean value change
If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?
It will be used often
Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?
It's a simple modification
