After a command is done the selection is unslected. Is there a way in Shapr to either redo the selection or do a command without loosing the selected parts? I realise there is the isolation mode as workaround.

I think the answer to this question is: no.

Well I guess the question was rhetorical.

Quite unnecessarily time consuming to reselect parts if selection by mouse and rectangle is not possible, isn’t it?

Can we pretty please not loose the selection if we undo a command. An example would be we mark 20 faces to move two pieces of an object and something goes wrong and we do a CMD-Z, I would really love to still have the selection of the faces until I click somewhere else. It would really save a lot of time. Anything speaking against this behaviour?  
Right now its - oh no my selection is gone.
