	</brief_description>
	<description>
		LineEdit provides a single-line string editor, used for text fields.
		It features many built-in shortcuts which will always be available ([code]Ctrl[/code] here maps to [code]Command[/code] on macOS):
		- [kbd]Ctrl + C[/kbd]: Copy
		- [kbd]Ctrl + X[/kbd]: Cut
		- [kbd]Ctrl + V or Ctrl + Y[/kbd]: Paste/"yank"
		- [kbd]Ctrl + Z[/kbd]: Undo
		- [kbd]Ctrl + Shift + Z[/kbd]: Redo
		- [kbd]Ctrl + U[/kbd]: Delete text from the cursor position to the beginning of the line
		- [kbd]Ctrl + K[/kbd]: Delete text from the cursor position to the end of the line
		- [kbd]Ctrl + A[/kbd]: Select all text
		- [kbd]Up Arrow[/kbd]/[kbd]Down arrow[/kbd]: Move the cursor to the beginning/end of the line
		On macOS, some extra keyboard shortcuts are available:
		- [kbd]Ctrl + F[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]Right Arrow[/kbd], move the cursor one character right
		- [kbd]Ctrl + B[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]Left Arrow[/kbd], move the cursor one character left
		- [kbd]Ctrl + P[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]Up Arrow[/kbd], move the cursor to the previous line
		- [kbd]Ctrl + N[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]Down Arrow[/kbd], move the cursor to the next line
		- [kbd]Ctrl + D[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]Delete[/kbd], delete the character on the right side of cursor
		- [kbd]Ctrl + H[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]Backspace[/kbd], delete the character on the left side of the cursor
		- [kbd]Cmd + Left arrow[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]Home[/kbd], move the cursor to the beginning of the line
		- [kbd]Cmd + Right arrow[/kbd]: Same as [kbd]End[/kbd], move the cursor to the end of the line
