Sticky Selection

Sticky selection refeers to keeping the selection stored between different selection modes in a similar way to what 3ds Max does.

Interactive Tool's Sticky Selection implementation works by storing the selected verts, edges or faces as a custom attribute, for this to happen you need to enable Sticky Selection in the preferences and use Quick Vert, Edge and Face or Selection Cycle to move between modes.

While this feature works most of the times, doing a lot of operations that modifies the order of the elements and forces blender to recalculate it, like extruding, beveling, etc will break the tool.

Smart Loop

If two continuous edges or one edge is selected, the edge loop is going to be selected. Alt Text

If two edges are selected, it's going to get the edge loop between them. Alt Text

If three edges are selected, and they have the same space between them a step selection will be made. Alt Text

These modes work with multiple selections at the same time. Alt Text

Support for vertex and face mode is limited, but some modes work.

Smart Ring

If two continuous edges or one edge is selected, the edge ring is going to be selected. Alt Text

If two edges are selected, it's going to get the edge ring between them, Alt Text

If three edges are selected, and they have the same space between them a step selection will be made. Alt Text

These modes work with multiple selections at the same time. Alt Text

Support for vertex and face mode is limited, but some modes work.

There is a known bug with ring selections not working sometimes, a fix will be released on the future.
