[Bf-funboard] Lighting up what is about to be selected

[JimmyVolatile]

Agree.
This is one of the non-intrusive interaction feedback effects that would
make Blender feel quite a bit easier to master. Of course, the highlight
would have to be configurable and possibly limited to things like the afore
mentioned mesh elements - vertices, edges and faces etc to avoid CPU/GPU
overload in high-poly scenes.
In addition, selecting single mesh elements would be a lot more precise than
today where you often have to aim carefully, Shift+RMB-click, see that the
wrong vertice is selected, Ctrl+Z, aim, Shift+RMB-click again until
successful.
The vertex/edge/face hover-state would have to look different from the
selected state, though, to tell selected and hovered elements apart.
Regs,
