This plugin allows users to keep a history of selected objects in Unity. Moreover, users can manage your own categories for saving different objects dynamically. It comes with a window to see the list of objects and the users are able to interact with them with other behaviors like, for example, focus an previously selected object or even drag them to scene, project view, etc.
The project was originally made by acoppes, I added the features for users to create their own categories and manage them efficiently.
