Keep your selection highlighted across scene loads.
Usually your selection will lose focus once another scene has loaded. This plugin will restore your selection.

Full source code included

It may work with earlier versions too but I haven't tested it.

Small footprint (~10 KB in size)
It is pure code which is placed in Plugins/Editor by default.

Please notice that this is an EDITOR ONLY plugin.
It helps you to keep things selected over multiple scene loads.

Usually if you press play in the Editor unity will keep your selection active only on first load. It gets lost once you haveunloaded the scene in Play mode, which is annoying.

This plugin restores your selection whenever the last edited scene(s) are loaded during Play mode.
