Daily Godot Tip #1: You can hold ctrl and drag a node from the scene into a script to automatically create an onready variable for that node

Going to start doing some daily Godot tips, both to force me to look for cool things the editor does so I can use it myself and to help out anyone else

Also posting these on my account on https://bytes.programming.dev

If youve got any tips I can put for a future day feel free to give me it and I can queue it up if I havent already

It's awesome shortcut and I use it all the time. But there is nuance

For it to work there is specific order of actions

start dragging
before letting go mouse button, press and hold ctrl

If you hold ctrl at the start it does something different ( don't have Godot at hand to confirm what it was )
