+ <brief_description>
+ Manages undo history of scenes opened in the editor.
+ </brief_description>
+ <description>
+ [EditorUndoRedoManager] is a manager for [UndoRedo] objects associated with edited scenes. Each scene has its own undo history and [EditorUndoRedoManager] ensures that each action performed in the editor gets associated with a proper scene. For actions not related to scenes ([ProjectSettings] edits, external resources, etc.), a separate global history is used.
+ The usage is mostly the same as [UndoRedo]. You create and commit actions and the manager automatically decides under-the-hood what scenes it belongs to. The scene is deduced based on the first operation in an action, using the object from the operation. The rules are as follows:
+ - If the object is a [Node], use the currently edited scene;
+ - If the object is a built-in resource, use the scene from its path;
+ - If the object is external resource or anything else, use global history.
+ This guessing can sometimes yield false results, so you can provide a custom context object when creating an action.

+ Register a method that will be called when the action is committed (i.e. the "do" action).
+ If this is the first operation, the [param object] will be used to deduce target undo history.

+ <description>
+ Register a reference for "do" that will be erased if the "do" history is lost. This is useful mostly for new nodes created for the "do" call. Do not use for resources.

+ Register a method that will be called when the action is undone (i.e. the "undo" action).
+ If this is the first operation, the [param object] will be used to deduce target undo history.

+ <method name="add_undo_reference">
+ <return type="void" />
+ <param index="0" name="object" type="Object" />
+ <description>
+ Register a reference for "undo" that will be erased if the "undo" history is lost. This is useful mostly for nodes removed with the "do" call (not the "undo" call!).
+ </description>
+ </method>
+ <method name="commit_action">
+ <return type="void" />
+ <param index="0" name="execute" type="bool" default="true" />
+ <description>
+ Commit the action. If [param execute] is true (default), all "do" methods/properties are called/set when this function is called.

+ <description>
+ Create a new action. After this is called, do all your calls to [method add_do_method], [method add_undo_method], [method add_do_property], and [method add_undo_property], then commit the action with [method commit_action].
+ The way actions are merged is dictated by the [param merge_mode] argument. See [enum UndoRedo.MergeMode] for details.
+ If [param custom_context] object is provided, it will be used for deducing target history (instead of using the first operation).

+ </method>
+ <method name="get_history_undo_redo" qualifiers="const">
+ <return type="UndoRedo" />
+ <param index="0" name="id" type="int" />
+ <description>
+ Returns the [UndoRedo] object associated with the given history [param id].
+ [param id] above [code]0[/code] are mapped to the opened scene tabs (but it doesn't match their order). [param id] of [code]0[/code] or lower have special meaning (see [enum SpecialHistory]).
+ Best used with [method get_object_history_id]. This method is only provided in case you need some more advanced methods of [UndoRedo] (but keep in mind that directly operating on the [UndoRedo] object might affect editor's stability).
+ </description>
+ </method>
+ <method name="get_object_history_id" qualifiers="const">
+ <return type="int" />
+ <param index="0" name="object" type="Object" />
+ <description>
+ Returns the history ID deduced from the given [param object]. It can be used with [method get_history_undo_redo].
+ </description>
+ </method>
+ <method name="is_committing_action" qualifiers="const">
+ <return type="bool" />
+ <description>
+ Returns [code]true[/code] if the [EditorUndoRedoManager] is currently committing the action, i.e. running its "do" method or property change (see [method commit_action]).
