Hi everybody! I have recorded another video tutorial about shaders in Godot. This time, we will demonstrate how to create a spectrum analyzer that responds to music played by the Godot audio system. This is a nice effect known from various music applications and can be useful for enhancing your game. Let's do it.

Do the multiplayer nodes essentially just function like if I was using RPCs to sync the properties, or do they have anything more nuanced like some sort of lag compensation?

I'm making a game in Godot 4 and I have something bound to the B key, problem is that if I press the B key while holding ctrl (sprint in my game) it launches a system shortcut bounded to ctrl + b. How can I stop the game inputs from activating a system shortcut?

I'm just starting out with Godot and I've run into some strange or unwanted behaviors. Maybe some of you can help me fix them. I'm currently running Godot on arch linux with x11/i3 as my desktop environment.

1.) Godot got some really aggressive focus. The editor grabs the focus mid typing in other applications and suddenly I'm tying there. With i3 being a tiling manager, Godot is sometimes passively resized when I resize another window - of course it also immediately gets itself focused and messed the resizing up.

2.) The focus within Godot is even stranger. I can ctrl c + ctrl v nodes just fine on a freshly opened project. But once I've a clicked a single property in the import or inspector docker, ctrl c + ctrl v will work exclusively there. Even if the import docker is hidden underneath the scene docker where I'm clicking the nodes I want to copy/paste.

3.) The last one is about using an external editor. Whenever Godot encounters a bug, it will automatically open the script in question. Which is annoying because I use vim for everything and will throw warnings at me, that the file has been changed. I've looked through all editor settings and tried setting vim as my external editor but the behavior persists.
