I can't find it anywhere for some reason, how do I use the getfocusowner method in script?

Found it here in the docs. You must call it on an instance of a Control node. So, like a Button or a TextureRect or anything else that inherits from Control (the green nodes).

Thank you! I really needed this

Turns out apparently this doesn't work if there are other types of nodes as children of the Control node (not 100% sure but it started working for me after I tried it)
