Godot-proposals: Add the ability to detect editor changes in plugins

[Shadowblitz16]

Describe the project you are working on:
GodotNetworkedEditor plugin

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project:
I need to detect changes in the editor so I can send them over to other peers

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation:
Something like a signal in EditorPlugin that detects when any property changes in the godot editor.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudocode, mockups, and/or diagrams:

connect("editor_property_changed", self, "property_changed")

func property_changed(object, member, value):
    pass

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?:
I am not sure what it could be used for other then networking but it doesn't seem to be possible to do right now.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?:
Because it doesn't seem to be possible to do right now

What does "in the editor" mean specifically?

A lot of your proposals propose a solution and treat the lack of your solution as the problem. That's not how these proposals are intended to work the goal here is define a concrete, specific problem, and proposone a solution. But the problem is the most important part of the proposalz not the proposed solution.

This problem is not concrete enough to come uo with a good solution.

Wgat is the actual, specific problem you are encountering?

I mean in the godot editor
I need to receive notifications when things change in the editor

[pycbouh]

Yeah, but what kind of things? What are things? What kind of change to a thing you are interested in tracking?

[Shadowblitz16]

everything except personal settings

[jonbonazza]

Are you trying to replicate changes to the entire editor ovrr to peers or just things added by your plugin?

[Shadowblitz16]

I am trying to replicate the entire editor over the network (except personal settings)

[jonbonazza]

I see. Unfortunately, I don't think this is doable as a plugin. It would require far too many fundamental architectural changes beyond even this one.

Is your ultimate goal increased collaboration? Or are you just attempting this project for fun?

[Shadowblitz16]

Kinda both it was because I wanted to code with my older brother and teach him godot
I also wanted to release it as a plugin
