Try this

-- The ngon info is added to HUD. It only shows if there is any nogons in the selected objects.
-- P_Select Concave\Convex Quads
-- P_Select Retopo-Offset Polygons

I think I've got it done.

I am not sure, maybe it's good to add to HUD? otherwise, I can also just use the hotkey to select ngon everytime I want to check.

I didn't knew this rewind thing, I think it will solve my problem, I will try it. Thank you!

One thing I hope you can add is a parameter to the Select Concave and Convex quad, to be used in composite tool. So I can have a hotkey setup to select polygons with concave/convex of 20 degree angle everytime, for example.

-- For Ngons

I can add number of ngons info in the HUD display. Good enough?

-- For Convex/Concave Quads

There are some related tools here, Help > Contents > Modeling > Retopo Tools > Polygon Face Winding Control.

-- For Convex/Concave Quads

It is not possible to implement this feature in Nvil.
