Hi. I would like to request feature that allows user to specify to which Vertex cut tool should automatically connect when adding cut point inside of a polygon. Currently it does auto connect to vertices but it feels random most of a time. I have to go back and delete, add edges after finishing the cut to clean it up. Please, add hotkey to cycle through available vertices or setting for auto connect behaviour. Thanks in advance.

Regular subobject cut tool, just rebound to retopo mode.

You can move cursor position to select the connecting vertex.

I attached video on how it works right now. In first part you can see that I was unable to auto connect to left most vertex, In second the part it not always picked preferred corners no matter where I moved my cursor. It might seem trivial and also easily achievable with inset tool in this case, but inset doesn't allow my to precisely select where I want my next vertex to be and always produces even spacing and quads, which is not always desirable for the given purpose.

You just need to move cursor over the preferred vertex to select it.
