Newly installed versions of the engine will now attempt to copy the project-agnostic config settings from a previous engine installation. This happens by way of a versioned manifest that copies old versions when the manifest does not exist, or is a different version. This code path is benign for non-installed versions of the engine (or FPaths::ShouldSaveToUserDir() is false).
EditorGameAgnosticSettings and EditorUserSettings ini paths have been renamed to EditorSettings and EditorPerProjectUserSettings respectively to better convey their purpose. In general, most settings should be saved in EditorSettings (project-agnostic) so that they apply regardless of which project is open. We have some way to go migrating existing settings for this to be the case, however.
Some previously per-project configuration files are now project-agnostic (such as Editor.ini, EditorKeyBindings.ini, and EditorLayout.ini)
GEditor->Access...Settings and GEditor->Get...Settings have been removed in favor of direct access of the CDO through GetMutableDefault<> and GetDefault<> respectively. Global config ini filenames that are not set up are now neither loaded nor saved on build machines, to handle the problem of indeterminate state more generically.
This addresses UETOOL-270 (Most editor preferences should be project-agnostic)

This allows you to align your view in the editor, select an actor in the
world outliner or in scene, right-click and select "Snap Actor to
Camera". Actor will then set its location and rotation to match the
view. This is super handy for quickly finding an awesome camera view in
the editor and then making your CameraActors match that view.

Old functionality still works, but deprecated. Note that for the object type the object params have been moved to the same argument position as ByChannel and byProfile

[UE-8712] - Right-clicking a component in the world brings up a context menu with basic options
- Fixed issue where duplicated components retained incorrect AttachChildren

Editor: Add/clarify make Blueprint actions to the Blueprints toolbar button
- Expose 'Blueprint from selected actor' (single actor; identical to invoking it from the details panel)
- Expose 'Blueprint from selected components' (harvests components from mutliple actors, ignoring the actor classes themselves)
- Rename 'New Blueprint Class' to 'New Empty Blueprint Class'
- Move the make blueprint options to the top of the menu and push level script to be the second category

[UE-8315] - Duplicated components appear in the proper location in BP editor
[UE-8617] - Alt+LMB drag to duplicate component in world works
[UE-8802] - Fixed issues with location of duplicated component
[UE-9193] - Substantially reorganized cut, copy, paste, duplicate, and delete to work in the world. Moved most of the implementations to FComponentEditorUtils so it could be shared by the SCSEditor (in ActorInstance mode) and the level editor
Checking in to keep from getting too unwieldly/large.
Known issues:
- Paste doesn't always show up in the right place
- Paste always attaches to root in world
- Can crash when undoing transform manipulation with multiple duplicated components selected

Editor: Remove "Customize Scripting Behavior" context menu option that went down the anonymous blueprint route; create a named Blueprint via the details panel instead [UE-9013]

Stopped the "Compiling C++ Code" message in the editor MainFrame always having a cancel button
FModuleCompilerStartedEvent now passes a bool to say whether the hot-reload/compile operation is being run async, or whether it's blocking. We now only show the cancel button for async compiles, as the UI is otherwise blocked waiting for the compile to finish.
Added a bWaitForCompletion input parameter to DoHotReloadFromEditor. This mirrors the RebindPackages API that DoHotReloadFromEditor internally calls, and prevents UPackFactory needing to perform a manual tick.
