#godotengine devs, I got a question:
So I made myself some nice input prompts that show icons/text based on the input device and mapping.
They live in a handy scene so I can make stuff like "Press [ESC] to open menu". But so I need "Label | InputPrompt | Label". Which is fine for simple prompts - but not very flexible.
What if I just wanna add these prompt to text dynamically aka "Press %input1 to do this and %input2 to do that"? I can never wrap my head around that. Any suggestions?
