Control::accept_event Changed and Move to Node

 		[b]User Interface nodes and input[/b]
 		Godot propagates input events via viewports. Each [Viewport] is responsible for propagating [InputEvent]s to their child nodes. As the [member SceneTree.root] is a [Window], this already happens automatically for all UI elements in your game.
 		Input events are propagated through the [SceneTree] from the root node to all child nodes by calling [method Node._input]. For UI elements specifically, it makes more sense to override the virtual method [method _gui_input], which filters out unrelated input events, such as by checking z-order, [member mouse_filter], focus, or if the event was inside of the control's bounding box.
-		Call [method accept_event] so no other node receives the event. Once you accept an input, it becomes handled so [method Node._unhandled_input] will not process it.
+		Call [method Node.accept_event] so no other node receives the event. Once you accept an input, it becomes handled so [method Node._unhandled_input] will not process it.
 		Only one [Control] node can be in focus. Only the node in focus will receive events. To get the focus, call [method grab_focus]. [Control] nodes lose focus when another node grabs it, or if you hide the node in focus.
 		Sets [member mouse_filter] to [constant MOUSE_FILTER_IGNORE] to tell a [Control] node to ignore mouse or touch events. You'll need it if you place an icon on top of a button.
 		[Theme] resources change the Control's appearance. If you change the [Theme] on a [Control] node, it affects all of its children. To override some of the theme's parameters, call one of the [code]add_theme_*_override[/code] methods, like [method add_theme_font_override]. You can override the theme with the Inspector.
