Border selection

It will be great to have a border selection like many others 3d software have it .

it will help a lot modeling . and for sure it will help developers for future add-on .

Blender ( by default ) can't do this well. Blender has option to select open edge loop if you click Alt+LMB few times, but if you need to select multiple of such open edge loops with Shift+ you can't ( again - by default. ) Again I talk about default Blender sometimes not the best tool...

But you can change keymap settings a bit or create new keymap for this action and achieve same reult as Border selection do in "others 3d software"

Border aka "open edges loop" selection - when you select closed loop of open edges by single click. Here my old GIF from 3D Max , here I show here Element selection and then Border selection .
