What would be the fastest way to do this in blender

Support Modeling

In the video below, he takes a plain mesh and ads something that looks like the subsurface modifier with supporting edge loops by only pressing a few options.Would it be possible to do something so quickly in blender?
It’s near 25sec into the vid.

Nvm, i actually found a way.

Add Subsurface V&R 2
Add Bevel modifier on top of subsurface modifier
Change Bevel limit mode to angle
Set segments to 2 and profile to 1.00
Play around with Width and angle to get the smooth corners you want.

How did you select all the round edges at once?

Edge ring select in edge select mode (ctrl+alt+select), and I have set a hotkey (Q) for select menu -> edge loops.

Could also do it the other way around and select an edge loop first and then select menu -> edge ring. I have hotkeyed that also (shift+Q). Comes in handy quite often.
