		Godot editor's interface.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		[EditorInterface] gives you control over Godot editor's window. It allows customizing the window, saving and (re-)loading scenes, rendering mesh previews, inspecting and editing resources and objects, and provides access to [EditorSettings], [EditorFileSystem], [EditorResourcePreview], [ScriptEditor], the editor viewport, and information about scenes.
		[b]Note:[/b] This class shouldn't be instantiated directly. Instead, access the singleton directly by its name.
		[codeblocks]
		[gdscript]
		var editor_settings = EditorInterface.get_editor_settings()
		[/gdscript]
		[csharp]
		// In C# you can access it via the static Singleton property.
		EditorSettings settings = EditorInterface.Singleton.GetEditorSettings();
		[/csharp]
