Inspector History for Unity

Inspector History is a Unity editor productivity tool that tracks your recently visited assets and scene objects as a navigable selection history — like a browser's back/forward for your Inspector. Quickly jump between recently selected objects, pin bookmarks to a favorites bar for quick access, and filter by type.

Unity 6+. It should work for earlier versions, but that's not been tested.

Features

• Session persistence — history and favorites survive domain reloads, play mode, and editor restarts
• Back / Forward navigation — step through your selection history; ALT+click jumps to the start or end
• Keyboard shortcuts — ALT + ← / ALT + → for back/forward without leaving the keyboard
• Pinned favorites — up to 15 slots across configurable rows; left-click to select, middle-click to clear, full drag & drop support in both directions. For instance, drag a object from Favorites to an Inspector field.
• Type filters — independently toggle Scene objects, ScriptableObjects, and Prefabs; disabling a type purges existing entries
• Color-coded type tags — each history entry shows a labeled color strip (Mat, Prefab, S.O., Script, Tex, etc.)
• Reveal in Finder — one-click OS file browser reveal for any asset entry
• Undo — step back through up to 6 history snapshots
• Configurable sizes — history depth (6–50) and favorites count (3–15) saved per-machine
• Zero dependencies — single UPM package, no third-party requirements
