	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Object that holds the project-independent editor settings. These settings are generally visible in the [b]Editor &gt; Editor Settings[/b] menu.
		Accessing the settings is done by using the regular [Object] API, such as:
		[codeblock]
		settings.set(prop,value)
		settings.get(prop)
		list_of_settings = settings.get_property_list()
		[/codeblock]
		[b]Note:[/b] This class shouldn't be instantiated directly. Instead, access the singleton using [method EditorInterface.get_editor_settings].
