[Bf-funboard] New Keymap: selection

[Paweł Łyczkowski]

I do a lot of modeling, and from the selection tools I find loop select, 
loop to region and region to loop most important. Also, I model mostly 
poly-by-poly, so the things done most amount of times are extrude edges 
and verts - these are done great - and make a new face. At the time make 
new face requires 2 precise clicks on edges (precise due to lack of 
pre-highlithing) and a keystroke. Since it's done thousands of time in 
my workflow any improvement will speed me up. At the moment, I don't use 
LMB click-and-drag (or at the default setup RMB click-and-drag) at all, 
since, once again, the click must be really precise, and also the 
operation requires second click for confirmation, which is cumbersome. 
The best solution for me would be if LMB click-and-drag would be set for 
circle select, but only active on hold. I would then set the radius to 
almost zero, and making a new face would be one mouse stroke (to select 
2 edges), and one keystroke. I had this setup in modo - worked great.

But then again, with circle select as it is now, with small radius you 
have to move the mouse slowly over an edge, otherwise it won't register, 
so that would have to be fixed first.

That, or the LMB click-and-drag should have the second click 
confirmation removed.
