Using External Editors in Godot

Godot: v4.6.stable.official [89cea1439]

When using Godot with an external Editor, like JetBrains Rider, Godot asks you to confirm every file when re-focusing the Godot Editor.

If you'd like to silently accept these changes, there is useful setting to make that happen.

In Editor Settings -> Text Editor -> Behaviour.
Set Auto Reload Scripts on External Change to On

Note: This doesn't seem to silence the Dialog on scene (.tscn) file changes. Also the Editor documentation states that it still displays the Dialog in some edge-cases. But straight forward script changes now no-longer need to be confirmed. 🥳
