	<description>
		LineEdit provides a single-line string editor, used for text fields.
		It features many built-in shortcuts which will always be available ([kbd]Ctrl[/kbd] here maps to [kbd]Cmd[/kbd] on macOS):
		- [kbd]Ctrl + C[/kbd]: Copy
		- [kbd]Ctrl + X[/kbd]: Cut
		- [kbd]Ctrl + V[/kbd] or [kbd]Ctrl + Y[/kbd]: Paste/"yank"
		- [kbd]Ctrl + Z[/kbd]: Undo
		- [kbd]Ctrl + ~[/kbd]: Swap input direction.
		- [kbd]Ctrl + Shift + Z[/kbd]: Redo
		- [kbd]Ctrl + U[/kbd]: Delete text from the caret position to the beginning of the line
		- [kbd]Ctrl + K[/kbd]: Delete text from the caret position to the end of the line
		- [kbd]Ctrl + A[/kbd]: Select all text
		- [kbd]Up Arrow[/kbd]/[kbd]Down Arrow[/kbd]: Move the caret to the beginning/end of the line
		On macOS, some extra keyboard shortcuts are available:
		- [kbd]Ctrl + F[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]Right Arrow[/kbd], move the caret one character right
		- [kbd]Ctrl + B[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]Left Arrow[/kbd], move the caret one character left
		- [kbd]Ctrl + P[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]Up Arrow[/kbd], move the caret to the previous line
		- [kbd]Ctrl + N[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]Down Arrow[/kbd], move the caret to the next line
		- [kbd]Ctrl + D[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]Delete[/kbd], delete the character on the right side of caret
		- [kbd]Ctrl + H[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]Backspace[/kbd], delete the character on the left side of the caret
		- [kbd]Ctrl + A[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]Home[/kbd], move the caret to the beginning of the line
		- [kbd]Ctrl + E[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]End[/kbd], move the caret to the end of the line
		- [kbd]Cmd + Left Arrow[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]Home[/kbd], move the caret to the beginning of the line
		- [kbd]Cmd + Right Arrow[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]End[/kbd], move the caret to the end of the line
