Could we drag scripts to Scene to add a new Node?

[theraot]

I've found myself wanting to drag a script from the FileSystem to the Scene to add a new Node of the appropriate type for the script and with it attached.

However, dragging a script to the Scene attaches the script to an existing Node, which is not what I want.

Thus, I imagine that it could be implemented with key combination (e.g. holding Ctrl).

And if a Script that does not extend a Node type is dragged to the Scene, it should fail, preferably with an error message.

Currently it is possible to attach a Resource script to a Node. But running an scene where such script is attached to a Node will fail.

Got the same idea, down to the modifier key. Dragging multiple scripts could create multiple child nodes. Curious to hear what more people think about this

hey, this is already possible. just ctrl+drag and drop a script.

oh wow, how could I miss that. I guess I was instinctively trying cmd on mac instead or ctrl. It doesn't work with multiple scripts btw, but not sure if it's gonna be a big deal yet

If anything, the fact that I didn't know the feature existed, opened a discussion, people passed by, upvoted, and nobody told me until now... It tells me that this is not easy to discover. So I have posted about it here: godotengine/godot-docs#4377

I'm closing the discussion.
