Godot version

4.2.dev.5

System information

Windows 11

Issue description

When you have a scene open with some export variables and script editor is active. If the scene is modified by modifying the export variables in the inspector. Pressing Ctrl + S will not save the scene, when the focus and cursor active in script editor.

This is working fine in 4.1.1

This may have been solved by a PR I don't remember. Raised to make sure the issue is addressed.

Steps to reproduce

• Open a scene with an export variable and a script attached.
• Switch to the script editor.
• Modify the export variables so that scene is modified.
• Now focus on the script editor by clicking inside the script editor (Important Step)
• Now press Ctrl + S
  Expected the scene and any changes in the script is saved.
  It will not.

My bad wrong duplicate, but duplicate, finding the correct issue

Edit: might not be, but will look further

This is a case of a contextual shortcut, see #79337

When inside the script editor the script editor has focus, by design, so that you can save a script instead of a scene

To work around this if you like you can add a shortcut for save scene, under Editor > Save Scene

The shortcut was changed because it was felt that most people would expect Ctrl-S to save what you are currently focused on, you can swap this behavior but this was done to normalize behavior as it is generally expected

• Editor > Save Scene is Ctrl + S by default.
• Script Editor > Save was apparently modified to Ctrl + S by default in 4.2, which takes over the save scene shortcut I assume, so to get the old behavior back you have to change it back to what it was: Ctrl + Alt + S (or any other thing).

As a long time user, stumbling upon this was really frustrating. It can be easily worked around though but I don't really have a usecase for saving the script alone and not the currently modified scene.

The previous behaviour was because of a limitation:

Makes sense to me. The only reason why this setting differed from the Save Scene one is because before 4.0, we didn't support shortcut contexts.

[tokengamedev]

So if I understand correctly, if I Ctrl +S outside script editor the script should not be saved. because contextually they are different now.

Let me know if that is the case, then I will raise a bug again.

Thanks, you are life saver. I did change and it worked fine.

Closing this issue as this is a default value change as mentioned in #79337
