No desktop? No problem. You can now build and publish #GodotEngine games entirely from your Android or XR device! godotengine.org/article/gabe...

I like designing UI on Android but coding is still a pain. Just want it to expand code view to full screen instead of showing the side/bottom tabs when I expand it. It also keeps switching to portrait when I expand (entire godot is landscape outside of this)

You should be able to switch back to landscape when it expands and keep using the full screen code view. We're working on improving the code edit UI for Godot 4.8, so stay tuned! github.com/godotengine/...

It's just one of those things that adds a bunch of steps I don't want to deal with. Currently it's either press 5 buttons just to stay in landscape and have stuff in the way anyway or just not code in Android, so I choose not to code yet. Easier to convert projects to Android compatible UI

Obviously but everything else is already in landscape by default

Name a single good reason why you would want everything else locked to landscape except the text editor, especially when it's a phone screen

Everything else is locked to landscape because those parts aren't optimized for portrait mode yet. We enabled orientation changes in the script editor because text editing in portrait is more comfortable on phones, and it was a feature requested by users in Android editor-related discussions.
