Reference Selector – Quick Assignment & History Navigator

Assigning references to object fields often requires frequent drag-and-drop actions and repeatedly searching for objects, making it one of the more frustrating parts of working in the Unity Editor.

Reference Selector is a Unity Editor extension designed to streamline editor workflows with a focus on efficient reference field assignment.

By leveraging selection history and hierarchy information, it allows you to assign objects and components quickly and reliably.

Key Features

■ Selection History

Automatically stores the history of selected scene objects and assets.

Previously assigned objects can be reused instantly from reference fields, eliminating the need to search for them again.

■ Reference Field Assignment

Context menus are available on most reference fields.

You can assign references without drag-and-drop by using selection history,

hierarchy trees, or sibling objects as the source.

■ Multi-Object Support

Fully supports multiple object selection.

References can be searched for and assigned in bulk based on

each object’s hierarchy structure.

■ Shortcuts

Supports selection history navigation using mouse wheel shortcuts,

allowing you to perform reference assignments more quickly.

(Default)

Shift + Mouse Wheel Down: Select the previous object in the selection history.

Shift + Mouse Wheel Up: Select the next object in the selection history.
