Reselect Previous Object Selection
Hell Goat
When a user has selected multiple objects and accidentally deselects them, provide a command and/or keyboard shortcut to restore the immediately previous selection. The viewer could retain the UUIDs of the previous selection until a new selection is made.
Why this would be useful:
A lot of the time, when moving store content around or building, it is very easy to lose your selection of objects. You can then spend quite a bit of time having to manually re-select everything.
It can also happen when moving parts of a build. Sometimes, due to lag, moving something too quickly, or other unexpected behavior, the entire selection can become deselected. If you were working with a large number of objects, you then have to go back and find and select everything again.
A “Reselect Previous Selection” option would make building, organizing, and moving content significantly faster and less frustrating.
I know you can drag a selection box around objects to select multiple items more quickly, but this isn't always practical. On regions with dense builds, dragging a selection box can select all kinds of unrelated objects. You then have to manually deselect the things you don't want and reselect anything that was missed.
Having the ability to simply restore the previous selection would avoid all of this.
For example:
Select 30 objects > accidentally deselect > press a keyboard shortcut > the same 30 objects are selected again.
Even keeping the last 3 selections in a small selection history would be extremely useful for builders, content creators, and residents.

Great suggestion! This has happened from time to when I have been rearranging items in a house or in a region. This would help a lot and reduce the chance of losing some items such as small transparent objects.
