Few advices to make " checker selection " works easier (maybe it help someone).

  1. Pick Shorter Ptath itself has checker deselect.

2. If you have to select loops/rings - hotkey Checker Deselect for optimal usage. In my case it is Alt+4 , work well with Alt/Alt+Shift+Click combinations for loop selection - hold Alt and do loop select/checker deselect/loop/checker... Same work for rings - Ctrl+Alt/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Click , again hold alt and ring/checker... 2. Use mouse wheel for Select Next/Previous. It totally change usage experience. In my keymaps it's Shift+MW Up/Down for next/previous. Work well with Shift+Click to select append element. Select first > hold Shift select second > keep holding Shift+MW Up for checker selection. 3. Use Zaloopok addon (if you still do not) and hotkey it, of course(in my case different combination of 1/2 + Shift/Alt/Ctrl ). It contain pretty clever multi element loop/ring tools. One of must have (IMO) addons for modeling.

Why? Because it work from "active element" as starting point to count how to deselect (you need to have some starting point). As far as active element exist only on last selection - it work only for this selection.

It can work in different way maybe (theoretically) with some piece of addon which will store active element ID for each individual selection you do, then trun for loop with revers selecting each selection, setting active element from stored list and do checker deselect.

Maybe something for the bug tracker instead.
