-				Similar to [method get_cmdline_args], but this returns the user arguments (any argument passed after the double dash [code]--[/code] argument). These are left untouched by Godot for the user.
+				Similar to [method get_cmdline_args], but this returns the user arguments (any argument passed after the double dash [code]--[/code] or double plus [code]++[/code] argument). These are left untouched by Godot for the user. [code]++[/code] can be used in situations where [code]--[/code] is intercepted by another program (such as [code]startx[/code]).
 				For example, in the command line below, [code]--fullscreen[/code] will not be returned in [method get_cmdline_user_args] and [code]--level 1[/code] will only be returned in [method get_cmdline_user_args]:
 				[codeblock]
 				godot --fullscreen -- --level 1
+				# Or:
+				godot --fullscreen ++ --level 1
 				[/codeblock]
