Selection question

I find grow/shrink a loop/ring on the mouse wheel to be very convenient...as you can spin the wheel very easily to extend your selecting in a single direction.

Nvil has a LOT of crazy hotkey combinations...probably the sign of a programmer that can type VERY fast.  I have seen in a couple geniuses at a game studio work at crazy speeds while working in a text editor.  You would think he had 4 thumbs.

Think about it,  when you have the split loop/ring active and have to use your other hand to hit a number key to change the splits.

Or chamfer requires tapping space bar and mouse wheel while the hotkey is held down.

Or caps lock as a hotkey modifier for redirecting any tool you have active.  No other program uses caps lock (for good reason)  but I love it.
