Selecting multiple edge loops based on current selection

Support Modeling

I want to select a a few edges and then double click to have their loops. This functionality already exists if you select the edges and then search for the command “multi select loops” as seen here - https://imgur.com/HX9Q4UD

what I would want is to bind multi select loops to a double-click, however this isn’t a command you can bind in the input editor! It doesn’t come up in the search. I do not want just “loop select” as this only selects one loop at a time.

Any suggestions?

Create a custom shortcut in User Preferences / Input under the 3D View / Mesh section. Use the operator “mesh.loop_multi_select” and set the shortcut you want to use, then save your settings

Works like a charm! Thanks Richard. In the spirit of teaching a man to fish, how did you find the command?

Look in the console panel (pull down the info header) when you do an operation and it will show its name.
In the User preferences I searched for Loop to find the operator for the loop cut, compared the names and all it needed was to add ‘multi’ for the multi cut operation
