simple request:

double clicking an open edge will select its entire length, regardless of polse, triangles or ngons.

reason:

The need is to be able to selectively modify holes where needed, without selecting ALL of the open edges.

If you first select an edge on the hole, then use Select "open edges", you will only select the open edges connected to your selection.

yeah, i just realized that!  Thanks.

Is there a way to modify the double LMB click by the user or is this hard coded.

The double_mouse_clicks are hard coded. I know no way of making any custom command activate with a double_mouse_click.

One option (that I currently use) is to make a single streamline tool for "loop select" and "select open edges". In the streamline tool, You can place the "Loop_select" in the "On Activated"(or "On Tapped") and the "Select Open Edges" in the "On Delayed". (The time delay can be changed in "Preferences > Streamline delay event timing").

I wish it worked like that since double lmb in Maya acts in this way.
