Useful to not need to tab back to it after changing one thing in the inspector
we also host an instance of opengist at https://blocks.programming.dev as an alternative to those if wanted

Daily Godot Tip #34: If you ever need to type multiline strings for a variable in the inspector you can use @export_multiline.

Daily Godot Tip #39: You can create code regions between #region and #endregion that allow you to collapse that entire section into 1 line
(programming.dev)
Useful for things you don't edit but still would need to scroll past

Capitalized will also put a space when swapping between letter and nums
Daily Godot Tip #37: If you select text you can hit certain keys to wrap the text in that key (works for things like quotations, brackets)

Export range (used to create a box in the inspector for choosing a number within a range) can have extra things added to it in any additional arguments after the main 3.
One of these is the addition of a suffix that can be set to whatever you want

Daily Godot Tip #35: You can bookmark lines by right clicking them and hitting toggle bookmark (or using ctrl alt b)
(programming.dev)
Then you can easily move to bookmarks using the go to button at the top or using ctrl+b and ctrl+shift+b

If you also just have a large block of text it lets you see a large amount of the text instead of only a small part at a time

you cant nest export_subgroups within each other but you can use slashes for nesting

Daily Godot Tip #32: You can use @ icon to assign a custom icon to a node instead of it having the default icon
(programming.dev)
You will need to close and then reopen the node to see the changes and icon must be put before the class declaration
Daily Godot Tip #31: You can use @ export_placeholder to give placeholder text to the input box in the inspector
around half the instances I checked were affected, no idea why only them were affected. world is also currently behind in inbound federation due to the pure amount of activities its generating atm (only instance that is atm). We fixed the issues so it shouldnt be happening anymore (and I can see this post on world)
world, lemm.ee dont have them, beehaw does for example
no problem, been using it as an excuse to learn about godot as well
Daily Godot Tip #31: You can use @ export_placeholder to give placeholder text to the input box in the inspector
For people on other instances, you might not see posts 29 and 30 due to some issues (e.g. people on .world) but you can see them by going to https://programming.dev/c/godot

Daily Godot Tip #31: You can use @ export_placeholder to give placeholder text to the input box in the inspector
(programming.dev)
This shows up when there’s no value and disappears when you start to type
Works for Strings, Arrays of Strings and PackedStringArrays

It removes what you set as the prefix from the name for the variable in the inspector

You can nest as many subfolders as you want using this
Daily Godot Tip #22: The replace_by function can be used if you need to replace a certain node with another while keeping all children within the scene
It definitely has more niche use due to the children interactions. Its pretty much just a shorthand for one specific case of function calls you would do so that you dont have to mess with all of reparenting, position, etc. for that case
Its more useful for engine and tool development (and is used in the engine for the change type button when you right click)
Off the top of my head a use case in a game would if for some reason you have placeholders, replacing the placeholder with the actual node. Another one is if your enemies change based on a specific metric in the game (e.g. once a run hits 1 minute all enemies change to be a harder enemy), you can just replace the old enemy node/script with the new one so that you get the updated script (would have to also manage the sprite in that case though)

Theres technically a code review community at !code_review@programming.dev although ive seen some people also post code reviews in the language/engine communities
