The title says it all. This is so incredibly, unbearably annoying.

mesh.loop_select doesn't work now... and I can't figure out that they've made it into. Even when reset to default settings I can no longer loop select... so what's up here?

In Edit > Preference > Input part if you have Emulate 3 Button Mouse in this case the Alt key serves as the third button so the shortcuts do not all work.

Just remove the check mark in the Emulate 3 Button Mouse box.

If you mean edge loop then it's just alt+right click, I also found out that if your edges aren't truly connected, Blender won't count them as full edge loops. as you said, SUPER annoying. I'll try to help out if I misinterpreted what you meant.

    $\begingroup$ I'm using alt-left to navigate, since I'm a (former) Maya user. I failed to mention, the loop select seems to work on edges but not on faces for me. Also I can't change the hotkey to anything; it simply won't work at all. I suspected conflicting keys but I've already tried that too. Nothing works. $\endgroup$ – allen May 16 '19 at 9:39
  • $\begingroup$ I'm not sure what else to try here. I'm usually good at finding what they've changed and adding the appropriate operator. But in this case, I simply can't select a face loop anymore. Not at all, and no clue as to if the operator has changed or not.... $\endgroup$ – allen May 16 '19 at 9:52
  • $\begingroup$ I just went on Blender's Discord channel and confirmed with others that face-loop select is not working with the latest 2.8 build. So I guess I'll just wait and see if they fix it. Cheers! $\endgroup$ – allen May 16 '19 at 10:42
  • $\begingroup$ Try one more thing, hit ctrl-tab while in edit mode and go to face selection mode, then, alt-right click on between two faces. and apologies for the answer above, it's alt-right click there as well. $\endgroup$ – The Colamarine May 16 '19 at 16:49
  • $\begingroup$ The latest build has fixed the issue. Thanks for the help anyway guys, and taking the time to respond. I very much appreciate it. $\endgroup$ – allen May 16 '19 at 20:14
